Wey A3 Print by William Morris

This A3 print features Wey, a printed cotton textile designed by William Morris in 1883 and named after the River Wey in Surrey.

The design combines sunflower-like blooms and marigolds with a dense arrangement of blue and green foliage, set against a rich indigo background. The bright yellow flowers stand out vividly against the darker ground, creating a striking balance of colour and pattern that is characteristic of Morris's mature textile designs.

Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Wey reflects Morris's interest in creating decorative patterns that were both visually rich and carefully structured. The flowing forms and layered composition reward close attention while maintaining a strong repeating rhythm across the design.
