Beowulf

Beowulf: The British Book Design & Production Awards -

Book of the Year - Excellence in Print Production

In 1895 the Kelmscott Press published 308 copies of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem, Beowulf. This edition is not a facsimile of this translated version by Morris and Wyatt, it is an homage.

With 18 new illustrations by Alice Cao this edition has been printed by Nomad Letterpress. Two bindings are available; 300 Morris Editions and 8 Octad Editions (vellum) beautifully hand-bound at Ludlow Bookbinders.

The text is presented with the Morris Troy font, a font Morris created for his edition, adding character and distinction to the pages. Flourishes designed by Morris will enhance this theme.
