Item description from seller

Paperback. Limited to 500 copies printed by The Stinehour Press. "Commemorating the centenary of Morris's death, the exhibition focused on the importance of books in his multifaceted life as poet, translator, designer, calligrapher, traveler, political reformer, and ultimately printer and typographer, founder of the Kelmscott Press. The considerable library Morris amassed makes it clear that he was both a collector in the usual sense of the word, acquiring and treasuring rare editions (in his case early printed books and illuminated manuscripts), and a collector in a broader sense, accumulating and then transforming ideas and influences that came to him via the printed word and image" (Mark Samuels Lasner). In side-stapled maroon paper wrappers with pattern adapted from Morris's Marigold wallpaper design. Title in black to front cover. Pristine. 27 pages. MOR/080515.
