Victorian textiles and prints

Here are some pretty prints. They are all by William Morris, who was an eclectic craftsman and designer from the 19th century. His work was influenced by a love for nature and a respect for craftmanship, who based all his designs on the philosophy 'have nothing in your house you do not know to be useful'
