In 1891, William Morris co-founded the Kelmscott Press with Emery Walker in Hammersmith, England. William Morris may be best-known as a co-founder of the Kelmscott Press and a vociferous socialist activist, but was also a textile designer, and author. Morris and the Kelmscott Press were both driving contributors to the British Arts and Crafts Movement, and each would leave behind a strong legacy.

A digital version of the exhibit is also available.

The exhibit was curated by Special Collections and Archives staff, Allison Haack and Christopher Jones.
