Woodpecker was woven at William Morris' works in Merton Abbey in 1885 - it is his first design for tapestry. The original tapestry wall hanging is in the William Morris Gallery at Walthamstow. It measures 9½ x
5 feet with
a pretty Honeysuckle Border and one of Morris' romantic poems.
Beth Russell's elegant needlepoint adaptation necessarily shortens the tree and omits the border and poetry. It is now a perfect size for a decorative panel and sticks loyally to Morris' soft aged
coloring.
