EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from The Tale of Beowulf, printed in the Troy Type by the renowned Kelmscott Press. Created around 1895 and later featured in the 1914 publication "The Art of the Book" this artwork is a testament to William Morris' exceptional artistic talent. The image depicts chapter XXXII of this ancient Old English epic poem, which narrates how Beowulf encounters a fearsome dragon known as Grendel. In this particular scene titled "How the Worm Came to the Howe, and How He Was Robbed of A Cup; and How He Fell on the Folk" we witness an intense moment filled with suspense and action. Morris's meticulous attention to detail shines through his intricate design work, combining elements of Gothic aesthetics with Victorian sensibilities. The carefully crafted lettering and font choice enhance both legibility and visual appeal, making it a true masterpiece of graphic design.
