William Morris's Flowers (V&A Museum)

Beautiful what more is there to say

This would make a lovely gift for an admirer of the flower designs of William and May Morris. The discussion of and numerous color plates allow the reader to contemplate William and May Morris’s design interests and techniques as each design, whether for wallpaper, fabric, tapestry, book border, etc., is examined and discussed in detail. Both William Morris and his daughter May Morris were inspired by nature and natural forms for their pattern designs, for course, but I had not realized until I read the introduction presented here that a great deal of that inspiration came from the gardens they planted and maintained at the Morris homes Red House and Kelmscott Manor. Part of their inspiration was to bring the outside indoors and transform, through art, daily living in the home with the beauty encountered in the garden. A lovely book, highly recommended.

I'm impressed by the high quality of the images. The details are clear, and the colors are vibrant.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who couldn’t tell me enough how much she loves it. It has a great mix of illustrations and information. Beautifully done

Love all the info and beautiful pictures, some of which I would like to frame.

Good written information; however the pictures are rather small. Book is not full-size. Price a bit steep for what you get.

This is exactly as advertised. I love it

It has lots of cool patterns
