Original Print Shop

Roycroft Print Museum

The interior of the original print shop (1898) became the Roycroft Inn reception room in 1903.  (Note the fire place to the far right.  It appears often in subsequent photographs.)  The clubhouse atmosphere of this gaslit interior was captured by the famous documentary photographer Frances Benjamin Johnson.  A faint pencil signature appears in the right corner.  The round table in the foreground, with the octagonal legs and cannonball feet, marks the first appearance of the Roycroft furniture that was soon to be offered for sale.  Two examples of this form are evident in East Aurora, NY today.
