‘Wreath’ (circa 1880). Wallpaper design by William Morris (1834 - 1896) for Morris & Co.

Pencil, pen and ink, watercolour, and bodycolour on paper.

‘It is possible that the designer George Wardle (circa 1834-1910) executed this design for production, working from Morris’ first version of the design. This design was intended as a guide for the printer to use when matching the colours.’

I didn't know you were so anti-spanish

We guess you’re a Manel fan too.. anyways, who cares? 

Since you judged us so firmly, you seem to know some things.. so let us ask you, anon: what is exactly “Spanish” for you?? Because it’s really hard to define, a very confusing term, there are hundreds of books trying to figure it out..

We know, something from Spain is Spanish, yes, but we DO know not everything from Spain is “Spanish”, right? Like for example:

This is VERY Spanish:

But is this?

This is pure Spain

Wait, but isn’t this Rio?

The monarchy!!

Are people against it.. Spanish?

SPANISH AF

Wait a minute, wtf??

So please, tell us specifically what is your idea of “Spanish” and ask - don’t assume - whether we’re anti or not.
