Condition: Near Fine. The Earthly Paradise was a collection of epic and romantic poems by William Morris (1834-1896) that first appeared in 1868-1870 when he was still in his thirties, and established Morris's reputation as an important poet. He planned to do an edition elaborately illustrated by his great friend, the artist Edward Burne-Jones but it was never realized. This Kelmscott Press edition had eight volumes that were issued between July 1896 and September 1897. There were 225 paper copies and 6 copies on vellum. These eight leaves are from volume five and contain pages 49-64 of The Land East of the Sun and West of the Moon. They are collected as one signature. The beautiful text pages have two 6-line decorated initials and twenty 4-line initials. Printed on Apple paper in Golden type using red and black inks. This was the first book in which Apple paper was used. Pages measure 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Except for some light browning to page edges the leaves are in near fine condition. An excellent example of the typography and printing of the Kelmscott Press and a wonderful addition to a teaching collection. PRI/070320.

First Edition
First edition of the author's examination of architecture and its relationship with art, literature, and politics. The entire first edition was printed in public during the Arts and Crafts Exhibition at the New Gallery in London, "under the eyes of an interested and constantly renewed crowd, whose presence imposed a severe strain upon the pressman Collins's Celtic modesty" (Sparling, p. 87). It was also the first Kelmscott Press book printed in sextodecimo. This is one of 1,500 copies on paper; there were also 45 copies printed on vellum. The present example has the misprint "Van Eyk" for "Van Eyck" (page 45, line 1) but "gilds" corrected to "guilds" (page 41, line 16). Peterson A18. H.

The recipient, Robert Smith, was one of two business-like brothers employed originally in the London shop of Morris and Co., but later promoted to junior partner at Merton Abbey, the factory that Morris had set up on The River Wandle due to the conditions being perfect for his needs designing and printing his textiles and where some of his most iconic designs were created.

First Edition
First edition, one of 250 copies from a total edition of 256 copies. Morris first started writing his romance in verse. He then experimented with prose and verse, before deciding on prose alone. The work can, therefore, be seen as an early fantasy novel. The work tells of the adventures of a naked heroine, Birdalone, who escapes from the claws of a witch and travels to a series of fantasy lands, including the Isle of Increase Unsought, which holds a critical mirror to Victorian Britain. Forman 168; Franklin p. 210; Peterson A45; LeMire A-84.01. Large octavo. Original limp vellum, spine lettered in gilt, green silk ties. Elaborate woodcut borders and ornaments entirely designed by William Morris, "except the initial words Whilom & Empty, which were completed from his unfinished designs by R. Catterson-Smith" (colophon). Text printed in red and black Chaucer type in double columns, with a few lines in Troy type and shoulder-notes in red. Spine toned, as usual, minor foxing, offsetting from silk ties; a near-fine copy with the original ties.

First Kelmscott edition, one of 300 copies on paper from a total edition of 310. Originally published in serial form in 1890, Morris's influential combination of socialist utopian fantasy and science fiction was one of the earliest books which he planned for his Kelmscott Press. During the production of the book, Sydney Cockerell suggested that a picture of Kelmscott Manor should be given as a frontispiece. This was designed by C. M. Gere, engraved by W. H. Hooper, and printed with a border designed by Morris. Charles March Gere was also responsible for a painting of Holcombe House in 1926. The House, located near Painswick in Gloucestershire, was rebuilt in an arts and crafts style by Detmar Blow in the 1920s and this copy of Morris's book bears a Holcombe House booklabel. Loosely inserted is a note that this copy was exhibited by the William Morris Society and the Society of Designer Craftsmen in a 1996 touring exhibition (see A Vision in Action - William Morris and the Crafts Today, 1996). An illustration of the frontispiece and opening leaf of text, using this copy, was included in the exhibition catalogue. LeMire A-50.05; Peterson A12. Octavo. Original limp vellum, spine lettered in gilt. silk ties. Housed in a custom-made folding box. Wood-engraved frontispiece, ornamental woodcut borders and initials. Printed in red and black in Golden type. Bookplate on front pastedown. Natural colour variance to vellum as usual, some toning to spine, lacking rear ties, occasional internal foxing: a very good copy.
