I am a fan of Liberty prints. I love them to death, and I am always looking for new pieces. Flowery dresses are a great investment for spring and summer and they never go out of fashion.
Arthur Lasenby Liberty made popular the Tana Lawn fabric during the 1920s. The good quality fabrics made of cotton soon became famous, and lots of designers have been using Liberty prints since then.
Pre-Raphaelite influence on Liberty of London.
John Millais - Ophelia, 1850. This image comes to mind when I think of Virginia Woolf's suicide.
Waterhouse-My sweet rose
Waterhouse-Ophelia (by the pond),1894
Waterhouse- The lady of Shalott
I was shocked when I saw some of this pictures at the Tate Gallery. I had seen pics of them before, but seeing them in real life was an incredible experience.
Jean Bousque created Cacharel at the end of 1960s and rediscovered Liberty, inspired by the old-fashioned elegance of croquet games and English garden. A book about the collaboration of Cacharel with Liberty of London was recently published.

I love Liberty prints...
Also all those paintings are fabolous. I love the Pre-Raphaelites.
Do you have that book by any chance? Because I'm wondering if it's worth having.
And I know what you mean by seeing paintings in real life, it doesn't matter how many times you may have seen pics of them on the Internet before, seeing special paintings in real-life is absolutely breathtaking.
