Chapter topics include selections from “Things Wrought” by United Crafts, 1902, a 1906 discussion of Gustav Stickley’s development and the influences on it, illustrations from the first three volumes of The Craftsman magazine, influence of William Morris, Harvey Ellis’ inlaid furniture, cabinet designs, the origin of Stickley’s famous maker’s mark, wood finishes, Craftsman chimney pieces, and exerts from trade magazines of Craftsman Workshop, dating 1904, 1906, 1914 and 1917. These primary sources, thoroughly illustrated in black and white, can lead to a deeper understanding of this important American style through the eyes of those who lived with it and created it. 7.25” x 10.25” softback in very good condition. 165 pages.
