William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896) was an English textile designer, poet, novelist, translator, and socialist activist. Associated with the British Arts and Crafts Movement, he was a major contributor to the revival of traditional British textile arts and methods of production. His literary contributions helped to establish the modern fantasy genre, while he played a significant role in propagating the early socialist movement in Britain.
You can tell that these pieces have been done in the 1800 due to the style of them and also the colors that have been used. The are both very similar with the use of flowers and leaves and look like the artist was very in touch with nature.
