Kelmscott Press
Mi-am spus ca nu ar fi rau sa mai prezint niste edituri interesante…
William Morris:
Teribil tip…
William Morris, a wealthy British theology student, developed an interest in art and literature and a deep love for everything medieval, not only art and design, but also architecture. Morris (and friend Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones) joined the gothic revival architectural practice of George Edmund Street. Here they met Philip Webb who was to become a lifelong friend and, together with Webb, they formed the Arts & Crafts movement.
Acum, probabil ca miscarea A&C nu o fi chiar cea mai minimalista out there insa imi plac multe din elemente sale.
In 1891, Morris a fondat o editura, Kelmscott Press, destinata sa devina una dintre cele mai celebre nume in lumea editurilor private si a colectionarilor:
Over the next seven years the press produced 53 books (totaling some 18,000 copies). Kelmscott was the culmination of Morris’s life as a craftsman in many diverse fields. The books Morris produced were medieval in design, modeled on his studies of incunabula of the fifteenth century.
Asadar, 53 de titluri…
