This wallpaper was designed by William Morris in 1892. The title is named after the cornflowers which were known in folklore as Bachelor’s Button as they were worn by young men in love.
This version was printed using original Morris & Co. blocks by the firm Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd. in 1950, after they acquired the blocks from Morris & Co. when they closed in 1940. It is stamped down the right edge: ‘MORRIS & Co’ and has a label with the Sanderson colourway ‘Bachelor’s Button 300’.
