  This address book contains beautiful objects from the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum that will be shown in a major Arts and Crafts exhibition at the museum from 17 March to 10 July 2005. The images explore the scope of the Arts and Crafts Movement from its flourishing in Britain in the 1880s, through the widespread espousal of Arts and Crafts ideals, to their interpretation and development as movements in Europe, until its final manifestation as the mingei undo (folk craft movement) in Japan in c.1926-40. The Arts and Crafts style remains popular to this day. The items illustrated include furniture, textiles, ceramics, glass, metalwork, jewellery, books (bindings and illustrations), photography, paintings, prints, sculpture and architecture.
