What is william morris wallpaper strawberry thief?

The William Morris wallpaper pattern called "Strawberry Thief" was created in 1883. The design features a repeating pattern of birds stealing strawberries from a plant. The original pattern was created by Morris himself, and was produced by his company, Morris & Co., which was founded in 1861.

The wallpaper is now considered one of Morris's most iconic designs and is a popular choice for those seeking a traditional or vintage look in their home decor. The pattern is often featured in wallpaper, upholstery, and other home furnishings.

The original design of "Strawberry Thief" was block-printed, a technique that Morris and his colleagues at Morris & Co. used extensively in their work. The blocks were made by hand and carved with the intricate details of the pattern. The wallpaper was then printed using a roller, with each color requiring a separate pass.

Today, Morris & Co. continues to produce "Strawberry Thief" wallpaper using both traditional block-printing techniques and modern printing technologies. The design has also been reimagined in a range of colors, from the original blue-green to red, pink, and even metallics.
