Roycroft Campus Book

Step inside one of the great centers of the American Arts and Crafts movement. Part of the Images of America series, this book uses more than 200 images to tell the story of Elbert Hubbard and his Roycrofters. Hubbard founded the Roycroft Press in 1895, and by 1900 the artisans and celebrities drawn to his community had turned the small village of East Aurora, New York, into a world-famous crafts community. You’ll meet the people behind the Roycroft dream and see their work, from handmade books to detailed metalwork and rare furniture. All 14 buildings of today’s National Historic Landmark campus are shown through original photographs, postcards and Roycroft’s own publications, and many of the images appear in a book for the first time. The book also covers the Roycroft Inn’s restoration and reopening, which made the campus a destination for visitors from around the world again.
