Are the tulips out in the parks & gardens near you? Morris’s Tulip design for printed cotton was registered #onthisday 1875. A suitably apt time of year.
‘A naturalistic & very British take on pattern that was both new & quietly radical’
Excellent piece by the @V_and_A on Morris’s designs for wallpaper: https://t.co/Zyevq2v3Qs
