From here on out, a lot of patterns will be dated to the vest of my ability, but often very broadly. I'll sometimes be grouping patterns together as much by visual similarity as by timing.
And I'm always happy to answer questions, or to receive new dating information!

[Every Morris @EveryMorris]

Readers may have noticed the dating of patterns getting more vague as we move along chronologically. This will only get more extreme from here on out - we're entering the realm of dating within decades, not months or years.

Chronological Order, Pattern 115:

"Crown", probably before 1900.
Printed textile
Likely historic adaption

And if correspondence and notes of later designers like J.H. Dearle survive at all, they are not publicly accessible, unlike so much William Morris material.
