Medium

Cotton, plain weave; block printed

A printed cotton of 1883 named after the River Windrush that flows near Kelmscott. Large leaves and small flowers are block-printed on a green ground; Morris dyed with natural indigo and madder rather than chemical dyes. The direction of the leaf veins is the clue for matching.
