Strawberry Thief (by William Morris) Canvas Print
This design is based on a pattern created by British designer William Morris (1834–1896), who is especially well known and regarded for his association with the Arts and Crafts Movement. Strawberry Thief is one of William Morris' most popular repeating designs for textiles. The pattern takes as its subject the thrush birds that Morris found stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire. The pattern was originally printed using the indigo discharge method, an ancient technique that had been used for many centuries mostly in the East. Morris admired the depth of colour and crisp detail that it produced. William Morris 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 Wimbledon, that he finally succeeded. The entire process would have taken days to complete and it was for this reason that it was one of Morris & Co.'s most expensive cottons. Nonetheless, customers were not put off by the expensive cost, and Strawberry Thief proved to be one of Morris' most commercially successful patterns. The pattern's beauty and elegance is still greatly appreciated today.

Very impressive product! The canvas is sturdily made. It features a saw tooth hanger on the back, making it easy to "try out" the canvas in several rooms until I found the best location. It attracts good comments from my friends. I love it! The printing is wonderful! Colors are as bright and crisp as they appeared on the website.

I ordered this product to see what the quality was because I am selling it on my store. Plus it was on sale and it was an excellent price! I didn’t expect it to be as nice. It really is beautiful. I am relieved! The only thing I don’t like about it is the sawtooth hanger on the back. I prefer a wire hanging system. The sawtooth hanger was not even centered but I managed to hang it straight anyway. Overall I love it! I will add the wire myself. The printing was clear and crisp and the colors were excellent! The canvas was stretched tight and professionally done. I am very happy with the quality of the print!

I ordered this as a sample, to test the quality for my shop. I like it very much. The photo print turned out nicely, love the substantial 1.5" wrap-effect for this piece. I can sell this artwork with confidence. Excellent color and clarity of the photo print.
