  • This type of screen, made up of embroidered panels, was usually intended to be used as a decorative room divider. This unique example, however, was embroidered as a grand exhibition piece to show off the skills of the designer and embroiderers. The original five panels of this screen represent the four Elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The complex composition inspired by historical designs is one that appealed to Walter Crane (1845-1915), who designed the panels. A similar arrangement can be seen in his wallpaper and border designs 'Peacock' and 'Amorini' which were printed by Jeffrye & Co. in 1878. This screen was probably exhibited as part of the Royal School of Art Needlework's section at the Philadelphia Exposition in the USA of 1876. The British work shown there, and especially the Royal School's contribution, made a very strong impact on American audiences. It is now seen as one of the formative influences on American Arts and Crafts design. Crane produced many designs for the Royal School of Art Needlework, which was founded in 1872. It is likely that he was, for a time, under contract to the School. (en)
