C.F.A. Voysey was an influential architect and decorative artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, beloved by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements for his colorful,
nature-inspired wallpapers and admired by the emerging Modernists for the warm, simplified lines of his cottage and furniture designs. O'Donnell, former editor in chief of Style 1900 magazine,
presents the biography of a brilliant and highly principled, yet humorous and kind designer, accompanied by a survey of his work including handsome architectural drawings, period photos,
charming furniture and fixture designs, and 65 luminous color reproductions of his captivating wallpapers and textiles. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
