Tulips, frequently appearing in the Morris & Co. archive, are seen in this Huntington document, where leafy vines fill the ground and vertical scrollwork is interspersed with stylised flowers. Possibly the hand of John Henry Dearle, identifiable through the conical stamens of the central flowerheads, reminiscent of Golden Lily, Wild Tulip & Vine depicts, at its centre, a winding runner of daffodils to anchor the design, guiding the eye along a gentle, rhythmic path, drawing subtle parallels with Wandle. Wild Tulip & Vine is surflex printed.
