EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Kelmscott Chaucer" a remarkable book published in 1896 by the renowned Kelmscott Press. Created by William Morris, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, this edition pays homage to Geoffrey Chaucer's iconic literary work from the 14th century.
