This is likely to have been the first of Morris's patterns to be printed by Wardle at Leek, although the first colour experiments for this design are dated 25 November 1875. One of a small group of Morris designs on printed silk exhibited by Thomas Wardle at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1878. They were acquired by the V&A soon afterwards and lay undiscovered as British work until the 1960s. Historical significance: All of Morris' printed textiles designed between 1875 and 1878 were printed at Thomas Wardle's Hencroft Printworks in Leek, Staffordshire. From February 1878 Wardle was printing fourteen designs for Morris & Co. This collaboration lasted throughout the nineteenth century and these patterns continued to be produced at Leek despite Morris' move to Merton Abbey in 1881-2.
