The Arts and Crafts Exhibition

this note would naturally expect to find that it
referred to a bedroom furnished at a moderate
cost, but the reverse was the case. Some of the
articles in the room in which elaboration and
luxury had been purposely avoided were not priced
in the catalogue, but the total cost of those that
were priced approached ^500. The price of the
bedstead alone, with the hangings, was ^170!
Other small rooms in the exhibition were de-

this article, together with another work from the
same galleries — Miss E. Ruth Rayner’s em-
broidered panel (245) A Flowering Tree.
Many good book-covers were shown in the
cases in Domus No. 2 and the University Room
which adjoined it. Printed books, illuminated
manuscripts by Mr. Graily Hewitt, Miss Margaret
B. Calkin and others ; and decorated and illumi-
nated books shown by Mr. Allan F. Vigers were

signed or arranged by
Mrs. Louise Powell,
Mr. Allan F. Vigers;
and Miss May Morris
jointly with Mr. Ernest
W. Gimson. The last
named of the three was
by far the most suc-
cessful, sober and
reserved in its general
scheme, not too
crowded, and hung with
a Morris paper that
formed a fitting back-
ground for Mr. Gimson’s
excellent furniture. The
Gimson cabinet work
was in fact one of the
best features of the ex-
hibition, the furniture
in which would have
made a poor appearance
without the sideboards,
tables, chairs, and other
pieces produced in the
village workshops at
Sapperton in Gloucester-
shire. There should be
hope indeed for the
revival of village indus-
tries when work like this
is the result. But a
master craftsman is
essential to the pro-
duction of examples
such as those from
Sapperton, and while
villages are many master
craftsmen are few.
Several examples of
Mr. Gimson’s furniture
exhibited in Domus
No. 1 or No. 2 are
shown in the illustra-
tions that accompany
