Autorenporträt
John Hungerford Pollen (1820-1902) was an English writer, artist, and designer known for his contributions to the Arts and Crafts Movement and for his authoritative work on furniture and woodwork. His scholarly text 'Ancient and Modern Furniture and Woodwork' serves as a seminal reference point for those interested in the historical development and design elements of furniture. With an astute eye for detail and an encyclopedic knowledge of stylistic variations, Pollen's work provided not only a catalogue of designs but also contextually situated them chronologically, highlighting the rich interplay between form, function, and craftsmanship throughout history. Pollen's expertise in ecclesiastical art and his work with the South Kensington Museum, now the Victoria and Albert Museum, solidified his credentials as a scholar in the decorative arts (Bilbey & Trusted, 2002). His writings exhibit meticulous research and articulate a vision for the synergy of beauty and utility, a hallmark of Arts and Crafts ideology. Pollen's literary style weaves historical narrative with practical analysis, earning him a place among the respected art and design historians of his era.
