Women bookbinders Ethel Taunton and G. Wallbrand Evans crafted these fine calfskin bindings emulating illustrations by Walter Crane (1845-1915) in the Arts and Crafts style, popular in Britain beginning in the late 19th century. The movement, which some see as a reaction against the uniformity of machine-made goods, focused on simple forms that recall medieval, romantic, or folk styles of decoration.
