Object history
Block printed at Bannister Hall, near Preston, Lancashire. Established around 1798, Bannister Hall was the leading printworks for woodblock furniture chintzes and set the fashion for other factories. Printing was carried out for London and Manchester merchants, who commissioned designs from skilled artists and sent them to be printed. Between 1825 and 1856 the firm was known as Charles Swainson & Company.
