ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Editor would like to thank the great number of people whose enthusiastic collaboration has made it possible to produce this issue of the Studio Year Book of Decorative Art. Conditions have not become easier as the war has gone on, and very sincere appreciation is felt for all those whose efforts have enabled us to overcome its difficulties. Thanks are particularly due to Prof. C. H. Reilly and Mrs. Lovat Fraser, the authors of the introductory articles, to the architects, designers, manufacturers, agents and associations who contributed and lent photographs, etc., for reproduction (those whose work we were unable to include no less than those whom we have represented), and also to our correspondents abroad, all of whom were only spurred on by difficulties to send better collections of material than ever. In the latter connection we would especially like to acknowledge the help of Mrs. Gwen Morton Spencer in Australia, Miss Dorothy Wright Liebes in America, and Mr. H. Garnard Kettle in Canada. --- STUDIO Printed in England by Fosh & Cross Ltd., Mansell St., London (Blackmore Press Ltd.)
