Part of Liberty's 'Aesthetic Renaissance' collection which celebrates the life and vision of the company's founder Arthur Lasenby Liberty. One of the original merchant adventurers Arthur Liberty introduced the fascinating, exotic design ideas he had encountered to the emerging aesthetic movement, of which Liberty became a central pillar. Supplementing the inspiration found in far flung locales are designs which derive from Arthur Liberty's love of the English countryside into which he escaped upon leaving the buzz of the London store. This design 'Walter' is reminiscent of bold, decorative ceramic tiles of the early 20th century. A stylised sunflower repeats in a sumptuous, but restrained palette of vivid blue tones with orange and yellow ochre accents interspersed. A breathtakingly confident, joyous design classic. Finest Tana lawn cotton, three button cuff
A very beautiful design in which a number of small wild flowers, attended by insects and hummingbirds are depicted in full colour and an adjacent monochrome version. The delicate forms are spaced quite widely on a fine stripe blue and white ground. Bright, energetic but, equally, rather restful. One is put in mind of spending a peaceful Spring day in a wild, high meadow. 'Jagger' single button cuff. Tailored regular fit, classic collar. 100% quality cotton shirt.
