| Object history | Registered File no. 9901/1926. Given by Mrs Lewis F. Day, along with objects T.202 to 279-1929. The designer, Lewis Foreman Day (1845-1910), was extremely keen on embroidery and published articles and manuals on the subject. He was one of the most commercially aware and successful designers of his generation. He is best known for his textiles, ceramics and wallpapers, and for his writings on the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts Movement. He had a strong relationship with the V&A and the art school attached to it, and the Museum owns a large collection of his designs. |
