We've got a 400-year-old house and have just re-wallpapered
the lounge. Underneath the top layer of wallpaper I found some
older stuff, maybe 1930's or 1950's but it would be nice to
identify the exact date.

This is printed on the back:

MADE IN U.S.A.
TOP -->
RUN No. 9
111-7231
It is an Oriental design with 2 Different temples, a Small dwelling
a Willow & 2 blossom trees and some Mountains
I can supply a .jpg if requested.

The W.P.C of N. A. may refer to a union of some sort; there was a wallpaper
printers and color mixers union around the turn of the century...1901
according to this website:

The N.A. must refer to North America. That was all I could find. The pattern
sounds similar to the standard "blue willow" story that is also popular in
transferware china patterns of the late 19th c. StT
