Pre-Raphaelite Mural Discovered In William Morris's Red House

Pre-Raphaelite Mural Found Beneath Layers Of Paint In Old Home

It began as an attempt to restore one blurry image that had been hidden for a century behind a large built-in wardrobe on William Morris's bedroom wall.

Months later, the painstaking removal of layers of paint and wallpaper revealed that an entire wall at the artist and craftsman's first married home was painted by his young friends who would become world-famous pre-Raphaelite artists.
