International Arts and Crafts

Frist edition, first impression.  368pp, lavishly illustrated in full colour.  Black cloth-covered boards, gilt lettering on the spine.  Illustrated endpapers.  Large 4to.  Volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original glossy dust jacket, not price clipped, just a little shelf worn and gently bumped on extreme edges. Published to coincide with the Arts and Crafts exhibition at the V & A Museum in London in 2005, this volume contains  a selection of edited essays on aspects of the Arts and Crafts movement covering Arts and Crafts in the UK, America, Europe and Japan. We particularly enjoyed the essay on Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School and on the Mingei Movement in Japan.  Also includes Arts and Crafts Book Arts, Metalwork and Silver, Jewellery, Photography and more.
