Daffodil

Ben Pentreath has taken the distinctive daffodils that grace this design and pumped up the colour! Created by John Henry Dearle c.1891, the original drawing survives and can be seen at the William Morris Gallery in London. Scaled down slightly and produced on a cotton/linen cloth, the Dark Olive colourway is utterly magical with its bright, almost electric blue ground and eye-catching teal detail. Archive is a much softer choice, retaining its original colours, but with a slightly intensified vibrancy.
