| Object history | Produced by the London decorators' shop of John G.Crace, and it is almost certainly, from an earlier design by A.W.N. Pugin or his son A.W.Pugin. The fabric would have been printed for Crace by a firm of commission printers, probably Thomas Clarkson of Bannister Hall in Lancashire (a firm known to have produced work for the Crace firm earlier in the nineteenth century) or Stead McAlpin & Co. of Carlisle. This example is likely to have been a special printing for one customer or house, as suggested by the printed legend: 'Private Design'. |
