Production | It is likely that the embroidery for the bag was designed as well as worked by Jane Morris. It is stylistically similar to floral embelishment painted on a four page booklet of four pages of verse including a poem 'Oneglia' given as a keepsake by Jane Morris to Rosalind Howard in 1878. This survives at Castle Howard. |
