Each design has a tiny printed monogram depicting an arrangement of the letters 'NAL' within a circle.  The monogram is in the bottom right corner. It is a collection mark for the National Art Library, to which this design belonged before transfer to what is now the V&A's Department of Prints, Drawings and Paintings. The National Art Library collected drawings for the applied arts from 1852. This example was bought  to be used as a teaching aid by the School of Design (now the Royal College of Art).<br><br><b>Design & Designing</b><br>This design is in an opaque water-soluble pigment known as bodycolour, which is similar to the strong, colourful glazes on 19th-century tiles.  This design is painted on a hexagon so that the tile, for which it is intended, could form part of an interlocking pattern on a floor or wall.<br><br><b>Time</b><br>In the 19th century new technology made possible the mass production of tiles. In the latter part of the century this productive capacity was matched by high demand, caused by a building boom.","physicalDescription":"Design for a hexagonal tile.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Greenaway, Kate","id":"A8451"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Bodycolour on paper","categories":[{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Tiles","id":"THES48884"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AN3904","2006AN6643","2016JR1722"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"T","shelf":"30","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Tile design","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1863","earliest":"1863-01-01","latest":"1863-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"22.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"mount","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"21.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"mount","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 10/10/2000 by PaperCons","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"A label on the back of the mount is printed 'Examined 1863' and signed","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":"A8877"},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"By Kate Greenaway (born in London, 1846, died there in 1901)","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Tile Design by Kate Greenaway, 1863","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"British Galleries:\nThis design won a prize for Kate Greenaway in the first year of the National Competition, established in 1863.
