Morris Wallpaper
The Art Fund contributed £30,000 to the V&A's purchase of two rare designs created and inscribed by William Morris, total cost £60,000. This graphic shows Morris's original design for Fruit wallpaper, sometimes called Pomegranate, painted by the artist around 1862. The second Morris design - both bought at a recent Bonhams auction - was for Poppy or Wreath wallpaper (c. 1880). These are historically important additions to the V&A's major collection of Morris's work. Click the title link for a bigger graphic and more information.
