His archive was purchased by The William Morris Society in 2005.The Irish horticulturist and journalist WilliamRobinson (1838-1935) had a marked effect on the textile arts during the final decades of the nineteenth century.

This approach found favour with Arts & Crafts textiles designers at the time including May Morris.
