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 industrialized capitalism. This rallying cry is forever immortalized on a high-drama wallpaper, ornamented with quintessentially Morris motifs; scrolling foliage, chattering birds, and beautiful script inspired by his own Kelmscott Press. The beauty of life is introduced to the Morris & Co. range for the Emery Walker’s House collection. The lettering is inspired by William Morris’s book-printing press, The Kelmscott Press, a feat he realized with the unwavering support and guidance of expert typographer, Sir Emery Walker.
