Henry Dearle designed this pretty wallpaper for Morris & Co. around 1896. The pattern is reminiscent of one of William Morris’s earliest wallpaper designs ‘Daisy’, with its clumps of simple meadow flowers. Here Dearle uses green climbing foliage to form a net structure which encloses each flower, including yellow Celandine, Bluebells, blue Campanula and pink flowers. The repeat size is 38.1cm x 53.3cm
This version was printed in 1962, using original Morris & Co. blocks by the firm Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd., who acquired the blocks from Morris & Co. when they closed in 1940. It is stamped down the right edge: ‘MORRIS & Co’.
