Fine craftsmanship and handiwork, originality in design, aesthetic purity, and honest use of materials in both decorative and utilitarian objects were the ideals embraced by Boston's Society of Arts and Crafts--the nation's first such organization. Inspiring Reform celebrates the centenary of the 1897 founding of the Society and examines Boston's pivotal role in the growth of the Arts and Crafts movement in America.Reproduced here are more than 150 works, dating from the 1890s to the 1930s, including splendid examples of furniture, ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, textiles, photography, book arts and typography, and wood-block prints. Essays by leading specialists in the field explore each medium. Also discussed are Boston's many reform societies, settlement houses, trade schools, craft workshops, and publishers, which helped to propel the Arts and Crafts movement to national significance.Inspiring Reform accompanies an exhibition opening in February 1997 at the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and traveling in March 1998 to the Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
Review:
"This elegant book, with its handsome design and more than 200 photographs, is itself an Arts and Crafts artifact."
Robin Lippincott, New York Times Book Review, 10/12/1997

Book Description: HB. Book Condition: New. A large number of books available from the bookbarn are what are known as remaindered titles. Remaindered books are titles that have been heavily discounted by distibutors. Quite often remaindered books are marked by the distributers as a way of indicating to book retailers that the title is discounted. These books are still considered new and have not been previously read. Remaindered books are usually marked by a stroke with a felt-tipped marker across the top or bottom of the book's pages, near the spine.
