When I think wallpaper Florence Broadhurst is the first person I think of after William Morris.
(I would really like to see "Unfolding Florence" the documentary film about her life; unfortunately, the torrent has no seeds and none of the video rental places near me seem to have it.)
After her death her designs were sold to Signature Prints and now many of the prints have been carried over to textiles. From what I understand, they are popular choices for drapery and upholstery.
She's well know for using bold colours, but today I'm going to stick to the black and white patterns.
