Historical Background
Liberty department store was founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty on Regent Street, coinciding with the Trade Marks Registration Act 1875 that established the first formal UK trademark system. The store registered "Art Fabrics" as a trademark during the late 19th century. Liberty's signature peacock feather print, first produced in 1887, remains in production today.
