Product description
Product code: 65126501
Delivered to the Birmingham Society of Arts on February 19th, 1880, The Beauty of Life is the lecture title of William Morris's passionate appeal to "face the latest danger which civilisation is threatened with." This rallying cry is forever immortalised on a sumptuous fabric, ornamented with quintessentially Morris motifs; scrolling foliage, beautiful script and playful wildlife. The struggle, to William Morris, was the threat of industrialised capitalism to deprive the whole race of all the beauty of life.
