Happy Birthday William Morris!

24th March 2015

Today is the anniversary of William Morris’s birth.  Morris was born on the 24th  March 1834 at Elm House in Walthamstow, which at the time was a village outside London.

 Kelmscott Press Books 027

It is amazing to think that 181 years after his birth William Morris designs are still being printed and manufactured into lovely products which we enjoy having in our homes. To quote the great man himself “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”

Thank you William, for all the beautiful designs you created for our homes and happy birthday!
