Cornflower

A design by the artistic hands of John Henry Dearle, Cornflower is a bold composition in his signature vine-like style. The central floral motifs and characteristic dotted ground remain true to Dearle's distinctive approach. An inscription in the margin of the original archive document reads, "Will something like this do, for the suggested staircase paper, a la vine tapestry? H.D.," signaling the wonderful artist-to-artist connection this collection embraces across the centuries. Cornflower is a celebration of florals featuring tulips, acanthus, daisies, and, of course, the cornflower. Surflex printed for wallpaper. Morris & Co. Color: Lemon/Sage
