First edition of this essay that "summarizes succinctly views which would apply equally well to any branch of applied art" (PMM). It builds on the ideas that Morris expounded in his famous 1877 lecture, "The Decorative Arts", including his emphasis on functionalism and simplicity along with the use of natural materials and organic forms. Printing and the Mind of Man 367b. Octavo. Text printed with the Golden Type designed for the Kelmscott Press. Original grey boards, blue cloth spine, front cover lettered in black. Spine lightly faded, a touch of wear to corners, foxing to boards and edges: a very good copy.
