Indian Indigo

Indian Indigo
This print was first produced in 1868-70 as wallpaper ’Indian’, based on the indene prints of the 18th century. Originally drawn by George Gilbert Scott and later adapted by Morris. William Morris (1834–1896) was an English textile designer and writer associated with the British Arts and Crafts Movement and a major contributor to the revival of traditional British textile arts and methods of production. The V&A holds an extensive collection of his wallpaper, textile and tile designs. His plant- and floral designs are still a source of inspiration for all artists all over the world
