The Creative Vision of Alice Millard (1873-1938), Innovative Antiquarian Bookseller
Alice Millard is best known as an antiquarian bookseller who championed the work of William Morris and T.J. Cobden-Sanderson, and sold books to many prominent 20th-century book collectors. She is also known for La Miniatura, the Pasadena house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for her. Less known is her association with several important women social reformers. This talk will reveal Millard’s many facets.
