Stamps celebrate designer genius
And Royal Mail yesterday released a set of stamps to celebrate the creative genius of the Victorian arts and crafts designers which he co-founded, Morris & Co being used as wallpaper designs. The set of six stamps will highlight some of the company’s most beautiful hand-crafted designs, which were fashioned in wood, fabric, wallpaper, tiles and stained glass. The original company of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Company was founded 150 years ago in 1861, and quickly established a reputation for fashionable interior design among other things.
