GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The late 19th century was characterized by rapid industrialization and urbanization that transformed the landscape and lifestyle of the United States. In part reacting to this new emphasis on technology, some American designers and craftspeople embraced the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, celebrating natural materials and traditional techniques rather than the rise of the machine and its counterpart, the city. As places such as New York City and Boston grew, fashionable urbanites in search of respite retreated to rural escapes, and new suburban dwellers attempted to reconcile the opportunities of the city with the dream of living in the country. This “rediscovery” of the American wilderness, characterized at the turn of the century by popular figures including Theodore Roosevelt, ignited a vogue for rusticity that appears throughout the arts of the era. Artists and designers utilized a variety of themes, foremost among them the use (or imitation) of natural materials, to evoke the simplicity and bucolic beauty of a vanishing region.

NOTES
September 15, 2016- This note is currently located in the CC-Catalogue Essays notebook and I am moving it to the New-In Focus notebook to consolidate all D3C online content. This note is currently tagged with internal tags #incomplete and #routed. Due to the older format of this template and the possibility that this note needs to be revised or updated (citation, template, rules, tags), I am removing the #routed tag. (This tag also no longer functions for routing since the Google Docs process is triggered by #draft.) I am adding my author tag to this note in order to prevent it from being lost in the cracks.
2/17/17, HAB, I changed this from #draft to #incomplete (rules are missing, and this needs to be cleaned up). I'm marking @bowling and @bartsch-allen to make sure we follow up.
4/19/17, HAB, added rule for first release of website, but inadequate because there are probably other objects that are "rustic"
