- This week I chose from the arts and crafts movement.
- One of the most well known artist of the time was William Morris who's work was reinforced by the writings of John Ruskin.
- This is a page from the book The Nature of Gothic by John Ruskin.
- This image places a high importance on the quality of craftsmanship while emphasizing the importance of the arts.
- I saw this photo while browsing the online library last week and fell in love with it.
- The quality of this work is outstanding. It was hand carved into a block of wood then printed on the paper
- The thing that attracted me most to this piece was the art that surrounds the very beautiful serif font. I believe it is Garamond but could be very wrong.
