Selections from the Poems of William Morris, edited with an introduction by William S. Peterson

The edition is edited by William S. Peterson, whose scholarship has shaped both the modern understanding of William Morris and the study of fine printing and design. Designed by Jerry Kelly, the book is printed in two colors throughout by Juan Pascoe at Taller Martín Pescador in Tacámbaro, Mexico, using an Ostrander Seymour hand press on dampened Velké Losiny handmade paper, in keeping with Morris’s own principles of craftsmanship and production. The text is handset in hot-metal Monotype Poliphilus and Blado, cast by Bradley Hutchinson at his foundry in Austin, Texas, with display type set in foundry-cast Gilgengart.
The frontispiece portrait of William Morris was drawn by Hermann Zapf and engraved by hand in lead in 1948 by August Rosenberger, Zapf’s longtime collaborator, and is printed from the original metal electrotype plate used in 1949. A previously unpublished pencil drawing of Morris by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is reproduced courtesy of the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, University of Delaware Library.
Published under the Suntup Press imprint in an edition of one hundred seventeen copies, fourteen of which are hors commerce. The edition measures 7¼ × 11 inches and is press-numbered and signed by William S. Peterson and Juan Pascoe.
