As the web tells us, the design is inspired by the wall paintings in the octagonal drawing room of Castell Coch, a Victorian Gothic Revival castle in Wales. Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this colorful presentation, based on murals at Castell Coch, is the frog perched above the race with a bottle in his hand. At first I thought he might have bet on the wrong racer. After viewing more of the Castell Coch wallpaper, I believe that he is the quack doctor who promises to heal others, even though he cannot heal himself.
