This pattern paper for the 1994 North Green Snowdrops catalogue and was reprinted again for the 1995 catalogue. In 1995 the printing was darker and on better quality paper. The suggestion for a patterned paper came from Brian Webb but the pattern, which incorporated chevrons, was designed and engraved by artist John Morley (born 1942). Designs for the snowdrops are at E.4050-1995 and E.4051-1995.
