A propos de cet article

Printed by William Morris, and sold by the Trustees of the late William Morris at the Kelmscott Press. Bound in publisher's original quarter Holland-backed blue paper boards, with white linen spine and black titles to cover. One of 525 [at ten shillings] paper copies (plus 12 [at two guineas] on vellum). Printed on fine, handmade, Batchelor (with the second version of the Primrose watermark) paper. Uncut, deckled edges. Colophon and the smaller, rectangular printer's device designed by Morris (no. 1). [iv], 70 pp., [1, colophon], [1, blank].  Printed in black and red throughout with the Golden type designed by Morris for his press, with 5 pages in the Troy and Chaucer types he designed. Head-title and shoulder-notes in red.  The frontispiece, "Psyche Borne off by Zephyrus," designed by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, was engraved by William Morris for a projected edition of THE EARTHLY PARADISE in the 1860s and was "touched up" by Robert Catterson-Smith. Rejected ornaments for LOVE IS ENOUGH. Woodcut borders (4a and 4) to frontispiece and first page of text. One 6-line woodblock initial capital designed by Morris for his press, engraved by William Harcourt Hooper, plus four large, 20-line woodcut initials (designed for the Froissart, but never used). This was the last book printed at the Kelmscott Press. It was finished at No. XIV Upper Mall, Hammersmith, in the County of London, on the fourth day of March, MDCCCXCVIII. [Clark Library, Kelmscott and Doves, pp. 62-63. Peterson A53.
