Introducing a brand-new design from Morris & Co. 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 against the ill effects of industrialised capitalism. This rallying cry is forever immortalised on a high-drama wallpaper, ornamented with quintessentially Morris motifs; scrolling foliage, chattering birds and beautiful script inspired by his own Kelmscott Press.
