William H. Bradley was a prolific designer who is probably best known for his graphic work, creating many designs for book covers, (book) illustrations and posters. He worked in an alluring and very recognizable style combining elements from Art Nouveau, Symbolism and Medieval book illumination into swaying compositions, often with a dark or symbolist undertone. His furniture designs are less well known, although he seems to have been very enthusiastic about interior decoration at the beginning of the twentieth century. In this period he created a series of interiors and furniture designs for ‘The Ladies’ Home Journal’. They are inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement and combine simple, elegant structures with stylized decorations based on nature.
