A handsome, finely produce volume in near fine condition throughout (there is a very mild, small blemish in the gilding on the fore-edge). Renowned for fine bindings and collectors' editions of beautiful literature, the Franklin Library produced some of the most attractive and desirable books of the 20th century. Morris reflects on the development of his craft, giving an insight into his creative process. Morris travelled extensively, photographing as he went. This volume is illustrated with many of those photographs and serves as a travelogue that takes us to places like Nebraska, Mexico, and Venice. 8vo. Seller Inventory # 012930
