Windrush. This William Morris design of
1883 was originally printed by the banks of the River
Wandle, in Morris' newly opened workshop, and was named
after another river, the Windrush in Oxfordshire. |
 |
The corncockle, featured in this design
of 1883, is now a rare sight in the English countryside.
In Morris' day this simple wildflower flourished in the
cornfields during the summer months. |
 |
A rich formal design, produced in 1888,
Autumn Flowers reflects Morris' interest in the traditional
patterns of antique woven silks and velvets. |
 |
Designed by Morris in 1885, Garden Tulip
displays Morris' favourite colours, including madder red
and deep indigo, of which he wrote, 'of blues there is
only one real dye, indigo'. |
 |
This exuberant pattern of stylized dog roses
and pinks, flowers that were admired in English gardens
of the period, was designed by Morris in 1890. |
 |
In 1889 Morris' assistant J.H. Dearle produced
Golden Lily, which has remained one of Morris & Co's most
enduring designs. |
 |
The meandering form of Tulip and Willow
reflects the naturalistic style developed by Morris in
the 1870s. Morris loved the willow, and willow branches
appeared in several of his designs. |
