The pattern consists of dark squirrels and leaves on a paler background. It is similar to designs on medieval tiles where a dark motif or pattern contrasts with a light background.  The architect William Burges designed it.   He studied medieval designs and used them as inspiration. Metford Warner was director of Jeffrey & Co., who manufactured this piece. He encouraged artists and architects, including William Burges, to design wallpapers for his firm.  Thanks to Warner's efforts, wallpapers appeared in the Fine Arts Exhibition at the Albert Hall, London, for the first time in 1873. This raised the standards of design in the wallpaper industry.","physicalDescription":"A narrow wallpaper frieze consisting of a pattern unit of a squirrel and leaves which has been turned through 180 degrees to give a horizontal mirror repeat.  The squirrel and leaves pattern unit is within a border of trefoils.  There are three repeats on the frieze; Colour machine print (or possibly print from woodblocks), on paper.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Burges, William","id":"A8201"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Jeffrey & Co.","id":"A9139"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"colour woodblock print","id":"x37101"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour machine print (or possibly print from woodblocks), on paper","categories":[{"text":"Wall coverings","id":"THES48878"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AG2245"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF (VA)","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"EDUC","shelf":"7","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"wallpaper","id":""}],[{"text":"print","id":""}],[{"text":"frieze","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"produced","id":"x30771"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1872","earliest":"1872-01-01","latest":"1872-12-31"},"association":{"text":"produced","id":"x30771"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Wallpaper Manufacturers Ltd.","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"37","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"14.5","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"40","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"15.75","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Given by Wallpaper Manufacturers Ltd.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"A narrow wallpaper frieze consisting of a pattern unit of a squirrel and leaves with a horizontal mirror repeat.
