Britain, Late 19th Century
Predominantly English, the Arts and Crafts Movement was a celebration of
individual craftsmanship and design, which developed as a reaction against
transformation of Britain during the industrial revolution. William Morris,
who spearheaded the movement, is particularly remembered as a book designer.
He also produced textiles, stained glass, and wallpaper in addition to
being a painter and writer. The movement was closely tied to the
Pre-Raphaelites
Burne-Jones and
Rossetti,
among others, produced designs for Morris' company.
