Product description from their website:
Michael O`Connell `Diversity of British Farming` Kent oast house make up bag
Michael O’Connell, the ‘lost modernist’, created a series of seven 3.8m-high textile artworks for the countryside pavilion at the Festival of Britain in 1951.
The wall-hangings formed a display called the ‘Diversity of British Farming’, with each one representing the unique agriculture, architecture and traditions of a different region. Two of these wall-hangings have been displayed at MERL since 2016: Kent with its oast houses and fruit trees, and Chreshire with its the distinctive Tudor architecture and dairy farms.
Details from both counties now feature on this range of products.
