W. Godwin collaborated with furniture manufacturer William Watt to publish this elegant, richly illustrated trade catalog printed with sepia ink on toned paper, period lettering, motifs and layout, that gives the appearance of an artist's sketchbook. Godwin's aesthetic movement and Japanese inspired designs for side and upholstered chairs, sideboards, divans, cabinets, bookcases, ceiling and wall decorations, tables, wardrobes and stained glass are grouped in such areas as: \"parlor furniture\", \"student furniture\", \"dining room furniture\", \"Anglo-Japanese drawing room furniture\", \"library furniture\", \"bedroom furniture\", \"old English or Jacobean furniture\", and \"economic furniture\". Included are several room interiors where Godwin promotes the Aesthetic Movement ideal of domestic space as a unified work of art. In the lightness and elegance of his furniture, Godwin foreshadowed Modernism. He is considered the most innovative designer of the Aesthetic Movement, which strove to bring art into every home, and represented a turning away from heavy Victorian ornamentation toward a simpler, more elegant and modern sensibility."}], "name": [{"label": "Author", "content": "William Watt (Firm)"}, {"label": "Author", "content": "Watt, William"}, {"label": "lithographer", "content": "Way, Thomas R (Thomas Robert) 1861-1913"}, {"label": "Author", "content": "Godwin, E.
