EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an original drawing for a full-page border created by the renowned British artist William Morris between 1892 and 1895. The intricate design, executed in Indian ink over pencil and heightened with Chinese white, measures 38.8x26.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Morris, known for his involvement in the Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth century, demonstrates his exceptional talent through this close-up view of his work. The absence of any figures allows viewers to fully appreciate the meticulous details of the piece. The black and white composition features delicate leaves intertwined with foliate patterns, creating a poetic atmosphere reminiscent of Geoffrey Chaucer's literary works. As an homage to Chaucer, Morris incorporates elements from his writings into this stunning border. With its authentic feel and European flair, this late nineteenth-century artwork transports us back to a time when craftsmanship was highly valued. It serves as a testament to Morris' artistic prowess and his dedication to reviving traditional techniques within contemporary art. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of Morris' original creation. It offers both art enthusiasts and admirers of literature a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that inspired one of Britain's most influential artists.
