About This Design

Retro 1940-1958 wrapping paper

Retro 1940-1958 wrapping paper

Created by Hortense Binette, student from Montréal's École des Beaux Arts, who won a design contest organised by Radio-Canada in April 1940. A red map of Canada set above elongated lightning bolts spanning across the country, the design was intended to represent the unifying role the public broadcaster would play. Used between 1940 - 1958. The national public broadcaster really takes off in this decade. On January 1, 1941, CBC News Service is formally opened; Radio-Canada's News division is also

I love this paper and it was large enough to put on the back of a glazed cabinet. It’s had lots of comments. I painted the interior to extend the image and it was very pleased with the result.

I really liked this product, the picture is lovely and the colours are really nice. I wanted it to up-cycle a writing bureau and I was concerned that the paper may be too thin. But it wasn't and it worked fine. On the pictures I have uploaded the print looks a bit aged and not so vivid and new looking. As I wanted an aged patina but the actual print is clearer and the colours are brighter. The colour and prints are good.

Very strong quality paper used. I used it to cover a lampshade, and it looks stunning now. Vibrant and vivid. Such lovely colours.
