  • the or each background portion may comprise a repeating pattern or scene.
  • the repeating pattern or scene may be continuous across a join between adjacent sections of the or each background portion.
  • the sections of the or each background portion may produce a wallpaper effect on the surface .
  • the assembly may comprise first and second background elements.
  • the first background element may depict a contrasting scene to the second background element.
  • the first and second background elements may depict elements of the scene which represent foreground and background parts of the scene, in a perspective sense.
  • the first and second background elements may depict contrasting parts of a single background scene.
  • the first and second background elements may depict elements of a scene commonly found together, for example a beach and the sky, a sports pitch and a grandstand, or a starscape and a lunar or planet surface.
  • the assembly may comprise a third background element, which may depict a further contrasting part of the scene depicted by the first and second background elements.
  • the third background element may be arranged, in use, to be secured over the first or second background elements.
  • the third background element may be arranged, in use, to be secured over a join between the first and second background elements.
  • the third background element may be in the form of a strip, similar to a wallpaper border, for instance.
  • the third background element may depict a part of a scene commonly forming a strip, for example a section of sea between a beach and the sky or a section of advertising hoarding between a sports pitch and a grandstand.
  • the third background element may depict an element of the scene which represents the middle distance of the scene, in a perspective sense.
  • the or each foreground portion may form a matching pair with the or each background portion.
  • the or each foreground portion may form a contrasting pair with the or each background portion.
  • the or each foreground portion may form a pair with the or each background portion to depict a scene in which the two portions are commonly found together.
  • the or each foreground portion may be pre-printed.
  • the or each background portion may be pre-printed.
  • the or each background portion may have an outer surface adapted to allow easy removal of a specific type of foreground portion secured thereto. Said outer surface may be so adapted by having a plastics material coating thereon.
  • the or each background portion may have an outer surface adapted to hinder the removal of a foreground portion not of the specific type.
  • a shop display comprises a set of articles, which set comprises at least one background portion which is arranged, in use, to be secured to a surface and at least one foreground portion which is arranged, in use, to be secured to the or each background portion and to form a scene with the or each background portion.
