CHOICE Review

The Arts and Crafts Movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries had an important artistic and philosophical influence on contemporary works. Many of its small factories were based in the Cotswolds, England. This book minutely describes chairs, tables, and cabinets and has 158 excellent black-and-white and 112 color photos. With admirable research, curators Carruthers and Greensted write about the many small enterprises of furniture making represented by the Arts and Crafts collection at the Cheltenham Museum, England. This beautifully designed book is appropriate for all levels of readers--lower-division undergraduate through professional. J. Risley; Wesleyan University
