Kelmscott Books

 Here are some of Morris's collection of Kelmscott Books held in the Norfolk Heritage Centre:  

Nuremberg Chronicles (below):  One of the most lavishly decorated books - which outlines the history of the world since creation.  

The History of Godefrey of Boloyne (below):  the last of Morris’s reprints of the works translated and printed by William Claxton, England’s first printer.  



News from Nowhere (below):  is arguably Morris’s most influential book combining utopian socialism with aspects of science fiction.
