Originality and Initiative
When William Morris rented Kelmscott Manor in 1871, the Cotswolds became the centre for both the Arts and Crafts and the Private Press Movements and this is what connects the subjects of the five essays in this book: the printmaker and bibliophile Emery Walker; William and May Morris at Kelmscott Press; the architect-designer Ernest Gimson; Sidney Barnsley the architect and craftsman; and the stained glass artist Paul Woodroffe.This book is the third to be published on the stunning collection of Arts and Crafts objects that are held at the Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum. Unlike the previous two volumes which focused on traditional decorative arts collections, this book draws on the extensive archive of printed material to explore themes important to both the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Private Press Movement: the importance of design and workmanship, the dissemination of information and the pleasure of books.Using as their resource the Cheltenham archive of drawings, designs and photographic records, together with the Emery Walker Library, the authors provide a fresh look at the Arts and Crafts Movement.

The Arts and Crafts Movement
"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." This quote alone from William Morris could summarise the ideology of the Arts & Crafts movement, which triggered a veritable reform in the applied arts in England. Founded by John Ruskin, then put into practice by William Morris, the Arts & Crafts movement promoted revolutionary ideas in Victorian England. In the middle of the "soulless" Industrial Era, when objects were standardised, the Arts & Crafts movement proposed a return to the aesthetic at the core of production. The work of artisans and meticulous design thus became the heart of this new ideology, which influenced styles throughout the world, translating the essential ideas of Arts & Crafts into design, architecture and painting.
