A fierce foe of modernity, William Morris (English, 1834–1896) drew inspiration from the Middle Ages, when artists and craftsmen were considered equals. He believed that decoration, in its finest form, gives pleasure to those who use it as well as to those who make it.
The gorgeous floral and foliate wallpaper designs on these notecards were selected from a sample book of William Morris and Company published around the turn of the 20th century.
