The first fully illustrated and comprehensive introduction to May Morris's work as an artist, designer and embroiderer, published in association with the V&A. May Morris (1862¿1938), younger daughter of William Morris, was a significant figure in the British Arts and Crafts movement and a pioneer of `art embroidery¿. She ran the embroidery department of Morris & Co., as well as designing textiles, wallpapers and jewellery. May was also an influential teacher and lectured in the UK and America.
