From the Roycroft Inn: “The first Roycroft art director, Samuel Warner, designed most of the early title pages of Roycroft books and also aided in the development of the graphic arts department. Renowned Roycroft book illuminators and illustrators included: Alta Fattey, Minnie Gardner, Beulah Hood, Bertha Hubbard, Lawrence Mazzanovich, Harriet Robarge, Clare Schlegel and famed “Wizard of Oz” artist W.W. Denslow, when in residence. The first floor of the tower room was originally called the Oak Room and was used for china painting, a craft excelled in by Hubbard’s first wife Bertha, and fellow artists, Clara Schlegel and Alta Fattey.”
