Included in each volume is a CD of all the images shown within–to be redrawn, reworked, or even licensed for further use. The books are available individually or in a beautiful decorative slipcase.

William Morris

William Morris’s world-famous designs possess a timeless quality and appeal that is surprising in work created over 120 years ago. He began designing patterns in the 1860s, for his own use and as part of an effort to improve the general standards of decorative design.
