DESIGN
The design is an abstract of the grasses and flowers taken from one of the wood engraving illustrations; a girl lies reading in a meadow, peaceful and content amongst the flowers. It is spring like and warm, the sunshine casts a golden glow and dark shadows over everything with the grasses swaying and pollen dust gently floating.
