It aims to shed light on the artistry and significance of these works, connecting past craftsmanship with contemporary interests in the arts and crafts movement.  The opening of the text establishes the context of a renewed fascination with arts and crafts in America, linking it to the influences of figures like Ruskin and Morris.
