An open letter from architect and Arts and Crafts figure C. R. Ashbee to the editor of the American Magazine of Art, giving his impressions of the 1916 English Arts and Crafts Exhibition at Burlington House, the Royal Academy. He describes Henry Wilson's reorganization of the galleries into themed rooms (domus, ecclesiastical, civic, university, treasury, weaving room), comments on individual exhibitors and notable absences, and reflects on the role of the arts and crafts in a society disrupted by war. Illustrated with a floor plan and photographs of the rooms, including the weaving room with looms and the retrospective room with Burne-Jones and Morris tapestry.
