The Kelmscott Press was founded by the British designer, poet, and socialist William Morris in 1891. It aimed to produce high-quality books that emphasized craftsmanship and artistry, reflecting Morris's belief in the importance of beautiful design in everyday life. The press is particularly known for its exquisite typography and illustrations, often inspired by medieval styles. Morris's vision was to revive the art of bookmaking and promote the value of handmade goods.
