| Publisher Description: Philip Webb was a British architect known as a founder of the Arts and Crafts movement and also a key member of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. He had a long association with William Morris and was responsible for the design of the hugely influential Red House, Morris's first home. In this collection, Philip Webb's letters have been drawn together by John Aplin. They tell a fascinating story of Webb's life and work, and the corresponding notes to each text will help the reader to understand the meaning and context of the letters. This work will be of interest to art and architecture historians alike. |
