So happy that the news is out!! Proud to say I have an essay in this volume - "'An idea of a rose-hedge': William Morris's Rose". (Image: Cooper Hewitt)

Section of William Morris Rose fabric, a dense repeating pattern with symmetrical, interwoven repeats. The primary motifs in the pattern are pink and red roses, yellow and orange tulips, and light-colored birds, on a ground of blue and green rose leaves and white and pink rose stems. The background is the plain, off-white color of the cotton, with light blue selvedge visible on the sides.
