Kelmescott, an early twentieth century hand block print was discovered in an English archive and has been reproduced using the original wood blocks, which were first cut and printed in July 1924. The multicolored design is composed of 40 separate blocks and requires 80 blocks to complete one full yard of printing. Kelmescott Wallcovering's charming scenic design of English country life is freshly interpreted as a digitally printed grasscloth and rescaled for the story to read vertically for a wall friendly layout. Its whimsical and scenic all over pattern makes it a great option for libraries and bedrooms.
