What were William Morris’s earliest wallpaper designs?

William Morris’s earliest wallpaper designs, which date from 1862 to 1864, include "Trellis," "Daisy," and "Fruit" (also known as "Pomegranate").1

These initial works were characterized by flat, stylized, naturalistic patterns and the use of rich, subdued colors. Morris did not reach his mature style in wallpaper design until approximately 10 years later, with the introduction of his "Jasmine" and "Marigold" papers. His contributions to the medium, alongside the broader Arts and Crafts movement, were instrumental in revolutionizing Victorian taste in wallpaper design.213
