Project: Kelmscott Chaucer Online | William Morris

The Kelmscott Chaucer Online allows you to explore what is widely considered to be the most beautiful book ever produced. The website contains all 87 wood-engraved illustrations by Edward Burne-Jones, as well as the 18 frames, 14 borders, and 26 decorative words designed by William Morris for their final project together published in 1896. This website aims to give an intimate experience of this extraordinary book, akin to looking at all this material in the peacefulness of a library, or on your desk at home. It is a highly curated experience, where each of the visual elements that make up the book can be investigated individually, or holistically, within the context in which they appear on the page.
