Résumé

"... Morris is the true prophet of the 20th century. We owe it to him that an ordinary man's dwelling-house has once more become a worthy object of the architect's thought, and a chair a wallpaper, or a vase, a worthy object of the artist's imagination." William Morns was a writer, poet, translator, publisher, fervent socialist, environmentalist and prof of ancient buildings, as well as one of the most successful textile and wallpaper designers or his day.
He set tp his own tapestry-weaving and hand-knotted carpet workshops, and with his partners dominated stained-glass manufacturing in Britain in the second half of the 19th century and pursued the age-old craft of block-printing fabrics and wallpapers.
