Текстилната чанта Anemone от колекцията William Kilburn на Paperblanks е с флоралния дизайн, вдъхновен от ботаническото изкуство на ирландския илюстратор Уилям Килбърн. Килбърн (1745–1818) е художникът, който стои зад акварелите в реален размер и подписаните гравюри в книгата на Уилям Къртис от XVII век за ботаниката Flora Londinensis, а също така и водещ дизайнер и печатар на калико. Неговите най-деликатни и почитани дизайни са тези, които използват мотив от морски водорасли.

Дизайнът на тефтера Pink Honeysuckle от колекцията William Morris е вдъхновена от репродукция на един от неговите отпечатани памучни модели, отразяващ интересът му към натурализма - в случая растението орлови нокти. Морис развива интерес към историята, социалните ценности и изкуството на Средновековието. В своите дизайни той често възпроизвежда стила Милефльори от XV и XVI век. Характеризиращ се с изобилие от малки декоративни цветя и растения, използвани за запълване на фоновото пространство, този стил е най-тясно свързан с традициите в правенето на гоблени във Франция и Белгия. Тефтерът Pink Honeysuckle от ... |
