Description: "An imperial obligation: industrial villages for partially disabled soldiers & sailors" by Thomas H. Mawson. 1st edition / 2nd printing August 1917.Thomas H. Mawson was a leading landscape architect and town planner in the early 20th century. This work puts forth the case for segregated veterans’ villages, designed housing in a strongly Arts and Crafts design. Through segregation, and the provision of sheltered workshops, Mawson wanted to protect disabled WW1 veterans from what he saw as ‘the struggle on the part of the crippled man with those who are able-bodied’. Additionally, he argued for the health-giving effects of villages surrounded by green space. This is an important and scarce work.
