Emma Chichester Clark; who was taught by Quentin Blake; has illustrated numerous book jackets leading her to win the ‘Mother Goose Award’ in 1998 for the most exciting newcomer to children’s book illustration. Discover her designs Plum Dog and Willow’s Garden below.

Tuesday’s Trees

First created in 2009 by award-winning children’s author and illustrator Lauren Child CBE, Tuesday Trees is inspired by Lauren’s illustration of the fictional character Clarice Bean. This magical print depicts fragments of archival Liberty patterns mixed with an assemblage of textured trees.

Pep

Inspired by a tiny fabric fragment discovered in the Liberty archive, Pep is a bright and bold representation of stylised cherry blossom branches. When viewed from a distance, the graphic flowers seem to pop, creating an almost polka dot effect.

Delfie

A heart shaped floral check with stylised flowers, trailing leaves and tiny acorns. Inspired by a 1961 Liberty archive print, Delfie is reminiscent of wrought iron swirls and decorative garden gate panel.

Plum Dog

Plum Dog is a hand-painted print by children’s author and illustrator Emma Chichester Clark. Originally created in 2009, this charming artwork captures a textured crayon landscape with Emma’s widely recognised dog Plum.

Clemmie

Originally created by the Liberty studio in 1963, this charming design was redrawn and recoloured in an array of vibrant and tonal shades. Featuring small ornamental flowers, tiny stars and scrolling tendrils, Clemmie blooms in subtle retro vibes, creating a seamless floral trail.
