- Summary
- "Henry George Murphy, familiarly known as Harry, was one of the few English craftsmen whose decorative output extended from the instinctive naturalistic imagery of the Arts and Crafts movement to the mechanical architecturalism of the Art Deco era. This is the first book to be devoted to this neglected but critically important craftsman. It contains a wealth of previously unpublished material, much of it derived from family records, letters and archive material, as well as previously unpublished illustrations, most from private collections."-- Book jacket.
