Sobre este artículo
London: Printed by the Chiswick Press for Longmans, Green & Co., 1901-02.. Nine works bound in eight. 4to. Publisher's linen backed drab boards, printed paper spine labels with replacements tipped in at the front of each volume, housed in four later plain black cloth slipcases. Sunning to the spines, some occasional spotting and edge wear to the boards, the spine labels a little creased and worn, otherwise an attractive set. A collection of Morris' works and translations printed using his own Golden type, designed for the Kelmscott Press. All of these works were all originally published prior to the founding of the press in 1891, this being the first time that they ever appeared in this font and in this uniform, utilitarian binding embodying Morris' aesthetic. They were issued at intervals between January 1901 and June 1902 without a uniform title. However a publisher's notice tipped into the front of the penultimate volume clearly indicates that they were originally conceived of as a set, though they are mostly seen individually these days. Walsdorf suggests that the production was limited to 300 sets. Walsdorf, 84.
