His designs for the 1890s  are considerably tighter in format than those  seen before and in four  particularly successful designs, Trail, Daffodil,  Florence and Graveney, a  development of the diagonal bias in Morris's  later work can be seen...'","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Specimen of 'Compton' wallpaper, a floral and foliage pattern with pink and blue flowers, with a dark-blue ground; Colour woodblock print, on paper; William Morris; Commissioned by Laurence Hodson for his house, 'Compton'; Part of 'Volume 2', a pattern book containing 27 Morris & Co. patterns from 1882-96 (E.530-608-1919); England; 1896.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Oman, Charles C., and Hamilton, Jean. <u>Wallpapers: a history and illustrated catalogue of the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum</u>.
