Rex Whistler loved Clovelly, the small coastal village in North Devon and was commissioned by Christine Hamlyn (who owned the village) to develop his sketches of the village into a textile design in 1932. The copper roller which used to print the original fabric was melted down during the Second World War, and this fragment almost certainly dates from the original creation.
