wife, Jane, in 1891. After
William Morris, Walthamstow, London 1834-1896. "The Tree of Life" has
a complex & colorful pattern of flowing leaves and branches, coming out
of a tree. The whole pattern symbolizes the positive flourishing of life
and is a recurring theme in all of William's tapestry works. Even in his
wallpaper works, this subject is eminent. 'Mille Fleurs,' the 'Medieval
Decorative Technique,' inspired most of the backgrounds of the artist's
works with heavily decorated backgrounds. Code: 13855
