This ground-breaking monograph on Irene Sargent (1852-1932), Syracuse University professor of art history, confidant of Gustav Stickley and first editor of The Craftsman magazine, is a compilation of Cleota Reed’s research and lectures delivered over the past several years. It is broad in scope, comprehensive in scholarship, and offers insights into the contributions of women to the success of the Arts & Crafts Movement, and into teaching at Syracuse University at the beginning of the 20th century.

This book, in keeping with the tenets of the Arts & Crafts Movement, is hand printed on fine paper and hand bound in a limited edition by the Clinker Press, a private letterpress studio founded by André Chaves in 1996. The press is located in the garage, constructed of clinker brick, of a Greene and Greene home in Pasadena, CA.

The handmade book is 64 pages, illustrated, hardbound with dust cover, limited to 140 copies numbered and signed by the author, of which this copy is numbered 72.
