The arts and crafts movement in the Pacific Northwest

"This is the first comprehensive exploration of the Arts and Crafts legacy in the Pacific Northwest. It traces the movement from its nineteenth-century English beginnings to its flowering in Washington and Oregon through the 1920s and beyond, weaving into a tale of idealism and devotion everything from iconic masterpieces to recent discoveries." "You will meet the architects, artists, craftspeople, and entrepreneurs in Seattle, Spokane, Portland, and smaller communities throughout the region in their own words in journal entries, letters, articles, and promotional materials of the period. Included are public and private architecture, furniture, pottery and tile, metalwork, lighting, leaded and stained glass, jewelry, textiles, basketry and the influence of Native America arts, painting and printmaking, photography, graphic arts and book design." "Illustrated with nearly 400 photographs and period graphics, including rare images published here for the first time, this volume is an authoriative reference, a story, and a treasure trove for Arts and Crafts collectors and enthusists everywhere."--Jacket.
