	Kelmscott Manor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kelmscott Manor is a limestone house in the Cotswold village of Kelmscott, Oxfordshire, England.
		It dates from around 1570, with a late 17th-century wing, and was the country home of the writer, designer and socialist William Morris from 1871 until his death in 1896.
		He named his London residence — Kelmscott House — and the private press that he founded — the Kelmscott Press — after Kelmscott, and was buried in the village churchyard in a tomb designed by his friend and colleague Philip Webb.

	Kelmscott Press
		Perhaps the most famous of the private presses, William Morris established the Kelmscott Press at Hammersmith in January 1891.
		Kelmscott was the culmination of Morris's life as a craftsman in many diverse fields.
		Kelmscott books re-awakened the ideals of book design and inspired better standards of production at a time when the printed page was generally at its poorest.

	William Morris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Morris and Rossetti rented a country house, Kelmscott Manor at Kelmscott, Oxfordshire, as a summer retreat, but it soon became a retreat for Rossetti and Jane Morris to have a long-lasting affair.
		He designed clear typefaces, such as his roman 'golden' type, which was inspired by that of the early Venetian printer Nicolaus Jenson, and medievalizing decorative borders for books that drew their inspiration from the incunabula of the 15th century and their woodcut illustrations.
		Selection of paper and ink, and concerns for the overall integration of type and decorations on the page made the Kelmscott Press the most famous of the private presses of the Arts and Crafts movement.

	Kelmscott Press on Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The masterpiece of the press was The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer (1896), a folio with illustrations by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and decorative designs and typeface by William Morris.
		The final publication of the press was A Note by William Morris on His Aims in Founding the Kelmscott Press (1898).
		The three types designed by Morris and used by the press were the Golden type, named for The Golden Legend (1892); the Troy type, named for The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye (1892); and the Chaucer type, named for the Chaucer folio.

	William Morris and the Kelmscott Chaucer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		That the Kelmscott was produced by a veritable amateur printer (Morris only turned his attention to printing in the last half-dozen years of his life) makes the achievement of this book and the resilience of its reputation all the more remarkable.
		The Kelmscott Press was the last and perhaps the most passionate of these many causes.
		The initial supplier of fl ink to the Kelmscott Press was Shackell, Edwards, and Co., Ltd. of London.

	William Morris and His Circle
		A year later, he determined to found a private press to realize his dream of printing the "ideal book." Thus began what he called his "little typographical adventure." Printing at the Kelmscott Press began in the spring of 1891.
		They were specially designed to contribute to the total visual effect of the Kelmscott book, alongside the type, woodcut illustrations, paper, and ink, and were later imitated by scores of commercial and fine presses in England and (especially) the U.S. The initials were produced using a modern electrotyping process.
		The effect produced by the intensely fl Kelmscott ink, which rides on the surface of the vellum instead of sinking into paper, is a stunning one.

	Ashendene Press. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		It was a leader (with the Kelmscott Press and the Doves Press) in the 19th-century revival of fine English printing.
		Its edition of Dante (1909) is considered an achievement comparable to the Kelmscott Chaucer of William Morris.
		The Ashendene Press, which set all of its editions by hand, issued 40 books in the years from 1895 to 1915 and from 1920 to 1935.

		The Kelmscott Press is now closed, and all the wood blocks of the initials and the ornaments have been given to the British Museum.
		The market for Kelmscott Press books grew quickly beyond the traditional small circle of collectors, and a transatlantic bidding war was soon evident, with much of the hype based on (and fed by) the media\rquote s coverage of the wide appreciation for all things Morris.
		The Kelmscott Press formally issued }{\i\fs20 Floure and The L eafe, and the Boke of Cupide, God of Love, or the Cuckow and the Nightingale}{\fs20 in November, 1896.

	WU Libraries Triple Crown Collection Article
		The collection contained not only the complete works of each of the presses in all their published states, but an astounding collection of ephemera relating to the printing processes and history of the presses.
		Mr Gould then "doggedly went after every item" ever recorded as associated with the presses, and the collection now includes some items that have never before been seen (to the extent that Marion Tidcombe's recent exhaustive bibliography of the Doves Press was halted during the production process so she could consult the collection).
		From the Kelmscott Press there is the 8 volume set of the Earthly Paradise, each volume with Morris' signature, and also including Morris' design for the title page in his own hand; also the first ever proof-sheet using the Chaucer type.

	ACRL \| September
		To demonstrate the scope and speed of the Kelmscott Press impact in this country, she has compiled a body of primary evidence in the form of turn-of-the-century "Morrisian" books and contemporary commentary upon their designs and designers.
		Her introductory chapters on the state of publishing in the late nineteenth century, and on the distinguishing characteristics of various Classical and Romantic book styles of the period, are helpful, though somewhat dated given the greater understanding of Victorian style that has developed in the decades since Thompsons analysis was first published.
		The chapter on American versions of Kelmscott types which follows the survey is helpful, but it is not clear why it should come at the end of the book and have no illustrations.

	Mosher Press
		In 1890 this disappointment led Morris to found his own Kelmscott Press, where he could control all elements of bookmaking: typeface, design, choice of ink and paper, as well as the actual printing of the book on a hand press.
		Although Morris inspired the efflorescence of private presses that sprung into eager life between 1891 and 1910, his philosophy of design and typography was more influential than his Kelmscott books, which have been criticized for being made to be looked at rather than read.
		Along with another "outsider" of the private press movement, Elbert Hubbard of the Roycroft Press, Mosher was responsible for bringing to the general public an awareness of the importance and value of a book well made.

		The work of the press, encompassing 45 titles, ended in 1904, and Ricketts then destroyed the types.

		The Essex House Press formed an integral part of the Guild of Handicraft founded by C R Ashbee (1863-1942) in 1888, and its first book was published from the eponymous Essex House in the Mile End Road in 1898.
		The Essex House Press and the Guild were part of the tradition of British socialism influenced by John Ruskin and William Morris that sought a return to craftsmanship, co-operation and a meaningful engagement with work which had been lost during the process of industrialisation.
		The Press is based in the Wye Valley, near Tintern Abbey, and the McDowalls have been inspired by earlier private presses to 'carry their standards and their creative spirit forward into this new century'.

		Just simply use KELMSCOTT PRESS, I got about 7000 sites, the first 50 are highly relevant, though many of them just have one page introduction linked to their home page about something else, such as a university or library’s special collection, an online encyclopedia or even a publishing company.
		The annotated list of all the 53 books printed at the Press in the order in which they were issued shows the three major types of copytexts Morris printed in his Press.
		People can not talk about the Kelmscott Press without mentioning the name of Morris, but many books devoted to Morris can be a complete book without the appearance of Kelmscott Press because Morris was great in so many fields other than printing.
