The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer (The Kelmscott Chaucer)

1896 (printing ran August 1894 to 8 May 1896; issued 26 June 1896) - Letterpress in Chaucer and Troy type, printed in black and red ink, with 87 wood-engraved illustrations after designs by Edward Burne-Jones and ornamental borders and initials designed by William Morris. The Cantor Arts Center's own published catalogue description gives the medium simply as an illustrated book with woodcuts, without specifying whether this particular copy is on paper or vellum; see Open Questions.

The Iconotheca Letter

One letter a week, on a Tuesday. What was researched, what a chain turned out to say, and what is closing in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
