Elegant Wrapping Paper for Every Occasion. The designs of these refined compositions arose at the hands of famous artists including William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts movement: the Fauvists; and the Scottish paisley designers William Eadie and George Haite. Every title in the series contains ten sheets of wrapping paper, each four times larger than the book itself. The sheets, which are perforated for easy removal, are large enough to wrap large-format artworks and illustrated books. Or keep the wrapping paper for yourself to lend a note of distinction to your school books, drawer linings, boxes and vaulable books! An introductory essay on the history of the textile industry and the artists and their motifs rounds out each volume.
