The eternal appeal of a classic floral design is captured in the work of Irish illustrator William Kilburn (1745-1818). The artist behind William Curtis' Flora Londinensis, a comprehensive book on 18th-century English botany, Kilburn was also a leading designer and printer of calico. With winding twigs, colourful petals and undulating seaweed, Kilburn's unique ability to blend local flora with exotic plants is on full display in this design.
