Charles Francis Annesley Voysey（1857-1941）与William Morris一起，是“工艺美术运动”中最受欢迎的设计师之一。Voysey是一名从业建筑师，他还设计了各种各样的应用艺术品，从家具，陶瓷和金属制品到墙纸，地毯，瓷砖和织物。他从19世纪80年代到20世纪30年代初期创作的设计的图案是他今天最著名的作品。

他的墙纸和纺织品设计的特点是图案简单，程式化，有节奏，其图案基于在自然界中发现的形状。植物比比皆是，鸟类和动物也是如此，它们以剪影或轻柔淡雅色调被描绘出来。这本优雅，价格合理的图书介绍了Voysey创作的大量五颜六色的设计，其中鸟类和动物是主要图案。

本书由研究Voysey和“工艺美术运动”的出版专家Karen Livingstone撰写，不仅汇集了完整的图案，而且还有用铅笔和水彩画的素描作品。《伏伊西的鸟类和动物》寓教于乐，将吸引众多博物馆参观者以及艺术和设计爱好者。

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857-1941) is, with William Morris, one of the most enduringly popular designers of the Arts & Crafts Movement. A practising architect, Voysey also designed a broad range of applied arts objects, from furniture, ceramics, and metalwork to wallpaper, carpets, tiles, and fabrics. His pattern designs, created from the 1880s to the early 1930s, are among his best-known works today.

His wallpaper and textile designs are characterized by simple, stylized, rhythmic patterns that base their motifs on forms found in the natural world. Plants abound, but so too do birds and animals, represented as silhouettes or in soft pastel shades. This elegant, accessibly priced volume offers a wealth of colourful designs by Voysey in which birds and animals are the principal motifs.

Written by Karen Livingstone, a published expert on Voysey and the Arts & Crafts Movement, this book brings together not only completed patterns but also working drawings in pencil and watercolour. Voysey's Birds and Animals will both inform and delight, appealing to a broad readership of museum visitors and lovers of art and design.
