He was the first editor of Apollo, the International Art Magazine from 1925-1929.Each front paste down bears a decorative bookplate printed with the name Mackmurdo. A suggestive association with English architect and designer Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo, who heavily influenced the Arts and Crafts Movement when he set up the Century Guild of Artists with Herbert Home in 1882.
