DESCRIPTION:
W. P. Barton said Great color reproductions of some very unexpected patterns. Following a recent trip to London and a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum, I was interested in seeing more William Morris work, particularly his wallpaper designs, which were originally manufactured in the building which currently houses the hotel I stayed at. I immediately checked Amazon; and there I found this - which was exactly what I was looking for. Great color reproductions of some very unexpected patterns.. A nice collection of the patterns and designs by Morris A nice collection of the patterns and designs by Morris. If you get William Morris Textiles by Parry you will not need this book as source material. This book would be handy if you want some designs that you could work with for decorating and crafts. Being paperback it is easy to carry and should you desire, cut apart for use and color matching at the paint store or fabric store.. A wonderful resource Very useful for people interested in design. Amazing level of trust, by the publishers, in the buyers that they will abide by the request not to use all the patterns.
Included in this splendid, ready-to-use archive are richly detailed wallpaper designs incorporating marigold, vine, acanthus, apple, wild tulip, daisy and trellis motifs; hand-painted tiles with a rose pattern; chintzes displaying honeysuckle and bird and anemone designs; an acanthus design on printed velveteen; a superb peacock and dragon design on woven wool tapestry; a magnificent Kidderminster carpet with its lily motif.Originally intended to decorate Victorian homes, these tasteful patterns provide a wealth of source material for modern artists working in advertising, textile, residential or industrial design.
