William Morris Textiles was the first comprehensive survey of the many hundreds of original, colorful textiles produced by William Morris (1834–1896) and the two commercial companies he founded and managed. To this day it remains the authority in the field, and this revised edition has been completely rewritten, reorganized, and expanded with beautiful new photography. Morris expert Linda Parry provides new insight into the embroideries, printed and woven textiles, carpets, and tapestries produced by Morris & Co., giving in-depth information about their design and manufacture. The varied, often highly specialized processes involved are discussed in detail, as are Morris’s working methods. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is the unparalleled study of the subject.

After a long and arduous journey, Christopher Mouse reaches the Evergreen Wood, where all the animals live in peace and safety.

This is a comprehensive survey of English textiles from the era when Britain led the design world. For twenty-five years after the first Arts and Crafts Exhibition in 1888, they were shown throughout Europe and the United States, influencing designers and attracting a large public, and were sold by the most fashionable shops. The refined creations of Arthur Silver (including Liberty's celebrated Peacock Feather), the distinctive designs of C.F.A. Voysey, the floral patterns of Lindsay Butterfield and George Haité - all are a source of delight and aesthetic inspiration. Some of the printed fabrics are popular again today through their recent revival by manufacturers. But the full variety of techniques exploited by the Arts and Crafts Movement - including not only printed but woven textiles, tapestries and carpets, embroideries and lace - is still unfamiliar. The volume examines the whole range of Arts and Crafts textiles and provides invaluable new information on designers, manufacturers and shops. The illustrations have been selected from the outstanding collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, supplemented by notable examples from other museums in Britain and elsewhere. Also included are rare photographs of some of the designers and of original interiors, where the fabrics appear in use.
