A leader in the styles and politics of his time, William Morris viewed his patterns as both an art form and a means of social commentary. In response to the industrial designs and manufacturing of the Machine Age, he and his counterparts at Morris & Co.—some of whose designs are also featured on these notecards—created wallpapers and fabrics that boasted natural floral motifs and handmade craftmanship. Their work and ideology inspired many of the artists around them, ushering in the Arts and Crafts movement. The intricate botanical patterns of their designs invite you to enjoy a moment of quiet contemplation in an otherwise busy day.

Louis Sullivan’s designs stand—among stiff competition—as the preeminent exemplars of Chicago School architecture. He brought to his practice a conviction that ornamentation should arise naturally from a building’s overall design, restating, in a large or small way, themes expressed in the structure as a whole. The designs adapted for this notecard assortment combine Art Nouveau complexity with geometric elegance, and in doing so epitomize the Sullivan sensibility.
