What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition. In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
A fascinating biographical study of the life and work of English architect and designer, Charles Robert Ashbee. Ashbee was a prime mover of the Arts and Crafts movement, which took its craft ethic from the works of John Ruskin.
This work explores Ashbee's personal life in the first eight chapters, with the next six focusing on his craft.
Richly illustrated throughout, including a monochrome portrait frontispiece.
