The aesthetic achievements of the American Arts and Crafts movement, which dominated decorative arts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, have become an increasingly popular subject of study and source of inspiration for contemporary artists and designers. This beautiful book presents over 400 copyright-free designs by 80 artists whose appealing and superbly finished works clearly reflect the ideals and sensibilities of the Arts and Crafts movement.
