About the Item

Nineteenth century modern (The Functional Tradition In Victorian Design) by Herwin Schaefer. Published by Praeger Publishers, 1970. 1st Ed hardcover no dust jacket. This book "Challenges an almost universally held view: that all Victorian design was overdecorated and that the only men to go beyond the pervasive bad taste were a few enlightened 'pioneers' (such as William Morris), whose attempts to achieve 'pure design' spurred the development of contemporary design." NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
