This postcard book features 4 pages of 8 perforated postcards of textiles, furniture, and a painting reproduced for the first time by the Victorian artist, William Morris.

"Morris designed his first wallpaper in 1864, and over the next thirty-two years he completed forty-nine wallpaper designs and five ceiling designs ... The Brooklyn Museum has in its collection a wallpaper sample book from Morris and Co., and the thirty designs shown in this book of postcards are from that book." [p. 1]

Each title contains 20 postcards (format 10.5 x 15 cm 41?2 x 6 inch) of superior 250gsm acid-free and age resistant drawing paper, printed with 20 exceptional designs in very light lines. The printing is done in such a way that, depending on the techniques used, the original outline will be hardly visible after colouring.
