About Christopher Dresser
Christopher Dresser was a British designer and design theorist, now widely known as one of the first and most important independent designers. He was a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a major contributor to the allied Anglo-Japanese or Modern Style, both of which originated in England and had long-lasting international influence.
