50 books and pamphlets from the personal library of the furniture designer and high-end London shop-keeper Sir Ambrose Heal which reflect his love for the Arts and Crafts movement and his passion as a pioneer and champion of design. The collection reveals Heal's connections with many of the leading figures of the time with inscr…ibed copies from his fellow furniture designer Hamilton Smith, review copies of works by William Lethaby and his own copies of early publications by the Designs and Industries Committee which he had helped found. There are polemics by Clough Williams Ellis as well as obscure exhibition catalogues and reports (several unrecorded) from organisations that he supported and helped to run. Altogether a fascinating insight into the life of an influential taste-maker and businessman in England in the first half of the century who ran Heal and Son on Tottenham Court Road for 40 years and played an active role in cultural life in London and further afield.
