Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Unknown
Period: 1970s-1980s
Canada: An English? made transfer, an example of a typical transfer used for home decoration in Canada and worldwide in the 1970s. The company which donated the transfer intended to use it in film production to decorate a child's room in 1970s style.
Function: A decal attached for decorative purposes to the wall or other surface of a room used by children.
Technical: An example of transfer technology first developed in the 1700s to decorate china, commonly used in the 19th century to ornament technological artifacts, and applied in the second half of the 20th century to home decoration. Water slide transfer technology was the simplest method of transfer application, developed in the mid 1900s. Unlike complicated simplex and duplex methods, the water slide method allowed for the transfer technology to be widely applied by unskilled users.
Area Notes: Unknown
