V&A Pattern: Sanderson 1954-74

This attractive series reveals the V&A's spectacular and extensive pattern collections. Each title in the series includes a free CD of high resolution images. Sanderson showcases the wallpapers and textiles of this most British of manufacturers. Each V&A Pattern book is an introduction to the Victoria and Albert Museum's extraordinarily diverse design archives. The museum has more than three million designs for textiles, decorations, wallpapers and prints; some well-known, others less so. This series explores pattern-making in all its forms, across the world and through the centuries. The books are intended to be both beautiful and useful - showing patterns to enjoy in their own right and as inspiration for new design.
