An artful gift inspired by The Met collection.
William Morris (British, 1834–1896) conceived of the charming pattern on these women’s pajamas, which he called
Brother Rabbit
, ahead of the 1881 opening of the Merton Abbey Tapestry Works. Registered in 1882 and printed about 1917–23,
Brother Rabbit
was produced in multiple colorways, including the red-and-white example belonging to The Met. The fanciful concept was inspired by nature, medieval textiles, and, notably, Brer Rabbit, a character from the 19th-century stories by J.C. Harris, which were popular with the Morris children.
