Offered is a First Edition hardback copy of "William Morris & His Palace of Art by Tessa Wild, published by Philip Wilson Publishers (London - NYC) in 2018.
The book offers a study by independent curator Tessa Wild that explores the architecture, interior decoration, and design history of Red House examining a pivotal era in the life of William Morris and his close circle.
The Red House was the only home ever commissioned by William Morris and the first independent project by his architect friend, Philip Webb.
The book covers the period from 1860 to 1865 when Morris, his wife Jane, and friends like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti lived, worked, and decorated together. Wild argues that the interior was not a random mix of rooms. Instead, it was a planned artistic program based on themes of love, art, and medieval romance.
