These beautiful postcards have been selected from the bestselling V&A Pattern titles. 

Drawing on designs intended for textiles, wallpaper, fashion and furnishing, this richly varied collection is a resource for artists, designers and students, as well as a charming addition to the design fan's stationery collection. Presented in a colourful presentation box, these beautifully printed patterns range from the intricate floral motifs of William Morris and C.F.A. Voysey to the wit and vibrancy of Pop era design; from the cool restraint of Fifties textile design to the iconic designs of Liberty & Co. 

A desirable gift and a surprising trove of design inspiration, this postcard collection is the perfect introduction to the V&A's design collections.

About the Artist:

William Morris - textile designer, writer and social pioneer, William Morris and his work have long been associated with the V&A. In 1865, his company was commissioned to design the West Dining Room at the museum, which features early examples of a number of the organic patterns that would make his name. Born in Walthamstow in 1836, Morris was captivated by nature from childhood, spending much of his time exploring Epping Forest and the surrounding countryside. These themes informed much of his textile design, and his mastery of pattern ensured an enduring appeal.
