Reviews

[Lydia · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good review of Morris history and all those involved with him in creating embroideries, tapestries, carpets, textiles and upholstery. Includes a catalog of repeating textiles. Many photos of houses designed/outfitted in the 1880s, including a first class room on the Titantic.
