Poems by the Way

one of 300 copies on Flower paper, printed in red and black in Golden type, wood-engraved border and initials designed by Morris, original vellum with silk ties, yapp edges, spine titled in gilt, uncut, a little soiled and bowed, small 4to, Kelmscott Press, 1891.

The first book to feature the famous Kelmscott printer’s mark, which in fact appears twice – at the end of the table of contents and on the colophon leaf at the end. This was also the first Kelmscott book to be printed in two colours. The work includes some new poems by Morris and some that appeared in magazines.
