A wonderful Art Nouveau design around the textile by William Morris, the master of textiles in the 19th and early 20th Century.
Strawberry Thief is one of 's most popular repeating designs for . It takes as its subject the that Morris found stealing fruit in his kitchen garden of his countryside home, , in . To print the pattern Morris used the painstaking method he admired above all forms of printing. He first attempted to print by this method in 1875 but it was not until 1881, when he moved into his factory at Merton Abbey, near , that he succeeded. In May 1883 Morris wrote to his daughter, "I was a great deal at Merton last week ... anxiously superintending the first printing of the Strawberry thief, which I think we shall manage this time." Pleased with this success, he registered the design with the Patents Office. This pattern was the first design using the technique in which red (in this case dye) and yellow (weld) were added to the basic blue and white ground.
