Prima edizione
Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. One of 300 paper copies. There were also eight vellum copies. This is one of the most desirable books to be printed at perhaps the most influential and famous of all private presses. A total of 52 books were produced during the several years it was active. In his definitive history of the Kelmscott Press, William Peterson describes this as "the penultimate book printed at the Kelmscott Press and an interesting example of how Cockerell (Sydney, who was the second Secretary of the Press.) was compelled to solve book-design difficulties on his own, as no work had been done before October 1896" (Morris died on October 3 of that year). Peterson continues to write that while the last books printed by the Kelmscott Press did not display a dramatic falling off of quality, they represent a reversion to the simpler of ornamentation of the very earliest Kelmscott books. For this edition, Burne-Jones redrew the full-page woodcut he originally prepared for the earlier print edition about 25 years prior. Frontispiece and full-page woodcut by W. H. Hooper after Edward Burne-Jones, decorative woodcut border to frontispiece and facing first page of contents, further woodcut borders in the text, three-, six-, and eight-line woodcut initials. Text printed in blue, red, and black in Troy type, stage directions mostly in Chaucer type. In the original limp vellum with yapp edges. The spine has title lettered in gilt. All six of the green silk ties are present. Light soiling to spine and covers and covers are a bit splayed. Interior pages are in beautiful condition. Housed in a custom box wiith dark green spine and page edges, with titling and press name in gilt to spine. A near fine copy of this stunning book, one of the two final works to be issued by the press. The other was a A Note by William Morris on his Aims in Founding the Kelmscott Press. Measures 11.5 x 8.25 inches. 90 pages. PRI/041726.

Condizione: Fine. Edward Burne-Jones (illustratore). This beautifully illustrated, lithographed poster is from LâEstampe Moderne. The work was published by one of the best printers of the day, Champenois. The lithographs were printed under the supervision of C. Masson and H. Piazza and published in Paris between May 1897 and April 1899.The work was sent out every month with four prints and a cover with art work by Alphonse Mucha by subscription only. The intention of this work was to âreanimate and disseminate the taste for printsâ (issue 24), thus 2000 of each print were published plus 100 on Japan paper.This famous collection included works by major Art Nouveau artists including Alphonse Mucha, Louis Rhead, Marcel Lenoir, Henri Boutet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Edward Burne-Jones, and Thà ophile Steinlen. Every print has the blind stamp of a womanâs profile in a lower corner. The large format lithographs are on excellent quality paper. When available we will include a tissue descriptive paper original to the work.The lithographs were done by the artists, rather than after, which makes the plates original Art Nouveau. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or faint marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 11 7/8" by 15 3/4".

The Kelmscott Chaucer remains "not only the most important of the Kelmscott Press's productions; it is also one of the great books of the world.its splendor can hardly be matched" (Ray). The original Kelmscott edition of 1896 was issued in just 425 paper copies and 13 on vellum, and stands as the supreme achievement of the private press movement - an ideal synthesis of typography, illustration, and bookbinding. The present Folio Society facsimile, executed with exceptional fidelity in materials and craftsmanship, is widely regarded as the finest modern recreation of Morris's masterpiece, preserving both its monumental scale and its tactile richness. A magnificent production - arguably the closest one can come to owning the Kelmscott Chaucer itself without entering six-figure territory.
