Historical Background

This text bears a strong comparison to passages in Richmond's address to the Royal Society of Arts (printed in the Society's journal, 21 Jun 1895). My suspicion is that this text was delivered to an audience at the Art Worker's Guild at an earlier date. The text is less formal and developed than that read at the RSA. Reference to a lecture on the history of mosaic delivered in the same room the previous year may be a reference to RI2/57.
