ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Editor would like to thank the great number of people whose collaboration has made it possible to bring out yet another war-time 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. We are especially grateful 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 overseas. In the latter connection we would particularly like to acknowledge the help of Mrs. Gwen Morton Spencer and Mr. Sydney Ure Smith in Australia and Mr. Garnard Kettle in Canada. --- STUDIO Printed in England by William Clowes & Sons, Limited, London and Beccles
