Wells (1867-1956), a cabinet maker and disciple of William Morris, lectured, taught and wrote extensively during the later phase of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain. His typescript autobiography is included in the archive which follows him through an apprenticeship in London's City Road with early practice as a cabinet maker before working alongside William Lethaby at the Central School and subsequently leading the cabinet department at the Shoreditch Technical Institution in London. His two most significant works, both published by Batsford, were "Modern Cabinet Work" (1909) which brought him to a wider audience and "Furniture for Small Houses" (1924) but as revealed by this archive, his work went much wider. Included in the archive is the following material: I. PHOTOGRAPHS A fantastic collection of gelatin photographs of furniture, many used as illustrations in Wells' books and labelled as such to verso. Contained within an envelope labelled in a later hand: 'Furniture designed by Percy Wells. (Including Shoreditch).'
