Label Text:The Kelmscott Press, founded by William Morris in 1891, produced over forty books. This lovely volume is typical of the superb printing craftsmanship achieved under Morris' direction, although it appears quite modest and understated compared to the KELMSCOTT CAUCER masterpiece displayed nearby.
