| The earliest record of the border to Byron Groups is in 1833 but the first record of the full pattern is number B426 in 1835. The name derives from the pattern Byron Views, which, whilst using this border, depicted in the centre different views of places visited by Lord Byron. These views were taken from the engravings of Edward & William Finden which illustrated Finden's Landscape and Portrait Illustrations to the Life and Works of Lord Byron'. The groups of flowers were an alternative decoration to the views and the same centres were also used to decorate Warwick Groups which used the border from Warwick Vase pattern. This pattern was reintroduced as one of the Victorian Dresser Plates in the Blue Room Collection in the late 1990s. |
