Kelmscott Chaucer

Kelmscott Chaucer
The Kelmscott Chaucer was published in 1896 by William Morris’ company, the Kelmscott Press. The designs of Morris’ books were influenced by medieval texts, but the actual type and floral decorative elements were Morris originals. The illustrations for this book were done by Edward Burne-Jones.
