The Arts and Crafts Movement was an international design movement that flourished between 1860 and
1910, it was largely a reaction against the perceived impoverished state of the decorative arts at the time
and the conditions in which they were produced. It stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms
and often applied medieval, romantic or folk styles of decoration. It advocated economic and social reform
and has been said to be essentially anti-industrial.

Movement which raised the standards of commercial printing and
publishing.
