Published by PitmanHouse, 1980, hardcover, A4 format, illustrated, 158 pages, condition: very good.

In this book, the authors make use of a superb collection of photographs which they have collected over many years. Featured tiles designed by William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, William De Morgan and Kate Greenaway. The tile industry flourished and its output can still be seen today in numerous buidings and private houses all over the world.
