Title: Edward F. Worst: Craftsman and Educator
Description: Chicago, Chicago Historical Society, 1985. Softcover. Tan illustrated wraps with black lettering, 69 pp. color and bw illustrations throughout. "The story of Edward F. Worst's life as an educator and a craftsman is ably told in this catalogue. But the story of how this exhibition and catalogue came about also deserves mention. The central characters are the members of the Worst family. Edward F. Worst's contribution over fifty years to the classroom and the weaving studio were uncommonly large, and it is primarily through the efforts of his children and their families that his work is now available for study to a larger audience. In letters, notebooks, a remarkable collection of textiles, furniture, and pottery, and even in the tools that he used - all saved by the family - we come to know this man and his ideals." - from preface. VG (some shelf wear and smudging, sticker residue on back cover, otherwise all pages clear and intact) .
