LIMITED EDITION, one of 1500 copies printed on Flower paper, second issue with corrections. Gothic Architecture was the first book printed in 16mo by the press and the first use of the 4-line initials. The Arts & Crafts Exhibition Society was formed in London in 1887 to promote the exhibition of decorative arts alongside fine arts. The 1893 exhibition was its fourth major show and took place at the New Gallery in London. By this time, the society had established itself as a key force in promoting the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement. That year, one of its contributors was Lucien Pissarro who exhibited his 14 woodcuts (see above bookplate).
