ArchitectureWeek Description
Essays from leading specialists in the field explore the impact of Dresser's theories, discussing his work in relation to that of his contemporaries, the late industrial revolution and development of modern design. Published during the centennial of his death, the book includes 300 illustrations that illuminate the vast scope of Dresser's output, from Gothic Revival cast-iron garden furniture, to stark geometric silver-plated tableware, to his experimental and innovative ceramics. This catalog also features his previously unattributed designs for textiles, wallpapers, and glass.
