This superb design
was originally produced by
William
Morris as an embroidery kit. It could be purchased as
an outline on fabric with some of the stitching partially
done if required.
Working with wool on linen, one
of Morris' clients embroidered eight full size wall-hangings
in crewel work; some of these may be seen at the William
Morris Gallery, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the
Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
The same design worked in silk may be seen
at Standen, East Grinstead.
