This is \u003cem\u003eLeicester\u003c\/em\u003e, designed by John Henry Dearle for Morris \u0026amp; Co. in around 1911–12, and it carries all the romance of the medieval tapestries and illuminated manuscripts that so captivated William Morris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDearle's story is a good one. He joined Morris \u0026amp; Co. as a teenage shop assistant, was trained personally by Morris, and after Morris's death in 1896 became the firm's art director — designing many of the later wallpapers and textiles that people still assume are Morris's own. \u003cem\u003eLeicester\u003c\/em\u003e is one of his, and it holds its own in any company.
