Linda Parry, William Morris Textiles, 1983, p. 155, no. 44 (for an example of this pattern at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, New York)

The design for ‘Campion’ was registered 8 March 1883.

The pattern was conceived as a fabric, as well as for carpeting.  It was used as wall-covering at 28, Bruton Street, London (Parry, op. cit., p. 155, no. 44).
