In 1973 to celebrate the opening of the exhibition Wallpapers by Charles E. Burchfield at the Burchfield Center (now the Burchfield Penney Art Center), the M.H. Birge & Sons Co. created a limited run of the wallpaper design "Sunflowers" c. 1922.

M.H. Birge & Sons Co. was the original manufacturer of this paper and great care was taken to reproduce it at the time.

Sunflowers are a frequent Burchfield subject and of the tall, coarse stemmed large, brilliant yellow-rayed flower he said" It really ought to be our National flower".

We are pleased to celebrate the design of this paper's 100th anniversary by offering a limited quantity from the 1973 re-printing in the following sizes:

- A 24" length of this untrimmed wallpaper measuring 21 3/4"wide x 24" in length. The image size measures 18 1/4". The selvedge reads:" Designed by C. Burchfield, c. 1922 Reproduction for Charles Burchfield Center 1973"- $ 75.00

- Select rolls and custom lengths are also available. For pricing please contact the Museum Store at: Lonzijp@buffalostate.edu or 716.878.3595

Wonderful for framing (looks especially great when retaining the selvedge) or for small areas or projects- cover a cabinet, cut up for smaller framed groupings, lining bookcases or tray inserts.
