These designs were used in a pattern paper for the 1994 North Green Snowdrops catalogue (copy at E.748-1994) and 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 (Trickett & Webb design consultants) but the pattern, which incorporated chevrons, was designed and engraved by artist John Morley (born 1942). Another design is at E.4050-1995.
