The Met Store William Morris Sweet Briar Bookmark* Office

As the leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain, William Morris (British, 1834–1896) oversaw the creation of decorative designs in abundance. Morris was profoundly inspired by the English countryside, which informed his visual vernacular of floral and foliate motifs. Our bookmark displays a detail from Sweet Briar, a lush pattern of rambling roses made circa 1912.
