Advertising booklet for the Century Guild, featuring a woodblock design of knights on horseback on the cover. The text within the booklet describes the Century Guild’s services as affordable designers and producers of furniture, metalwork, textiles, wallpapers, stained glass and decorative painting. “…While recognizing the cost, which, of necessity, accompanies decoration in its more sumptuous and elaborate forms, Messrs. Mackmurdo and Horne are prepared to decorate and furnish houses in a simple, yet effective manner, which, while endeavouring to fulfil the more exacting canons of taste, will not be beyond the means of those, to whom expense is a matter of material concern.”
