Elbert Hubbard's Scrap Book
Containing the Inspired And Inspiring Selections
Gathered During a Lifetime of Discriminating Reading for His Own Use
Printed and Made Into a Book by The Roycrofters, at Their Shops, in East Aurora, Erie County, New York State
Elbert Hubbard is the founder of the Arts & Crafts era Roycroft Press and an American icon in his approach to turn-of-the-cent American design. Although influenced by earlier European decor specifically that of William Morris, he was a visionary on Americanization of design. The influence of Hubbard and his Roycroft press was significant and his ideas became broadly popular, reaching its peak between 1900 & 1915. Hubbard came to influence even the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright & the future of American culture and aesthetics. The scrapbook distills many of his ideas derived from a lifetime of reading and study. Filled with fascinating excerpts, thoughts, quotations, and more.
