Craftsman Homes: Architecture and Furnishings of the American Arts and Crafts Movement by Gustav Stickley.

The late 19th-century protest against machine-age artificiality which spawned the Arts and Crafts Movement in England, engendered a distinct American offshoot: the Craftsman, or Mission style.

Gustav Stickley's handsome magazine The Craftsman (1901-16) became the voice of that style, seeking beauty and creativity in simplicity and organic harmony.

Craftsman Homes gathers together in a sumptuously produced volume the entire range of design from The Craftsman. This edition reprints that beautiful work, originally published in a private edition on The Craftsman's own press.

Essays on the simplification of life the art of home building, and the Craftsman idea recall the vigorous school of theory which influenced the young Frank Lloyd Wright and has returned to vogue today.

296 architectural drawings, photographs and floor plans recapture and preserve a vision of beauty and utility which dignified and elevated a mere handcrafts fad into a uniquely American style.

Published/Edition: July 1981. ISBN/Book No.: 0486237915
