Canvas, embroidered with silk
designed by Philip Webb ?
1885-90
Bequeathed by May Morris
This is an example of a small, square design for cushion covers and fire screens. It was available from the Morris & Co. shop as a finished embroidery or kit to complete at home. Such designs were an inexpensive means of acquiring William Morris's work, and many examples have survived.
May Morris embroidered this picture.
