First two photos are of this copy, others are stock images used to keep handling to a minimum. This is The Folio Society's stunning facsimile of William Morris's poetic masterpiece, 'Lov…e is Enough' which was originally published in 1873. Limited to 750 hand-numbered copies, this being #443. Hand-bound in leather blocked in gold on front, back, spine and doublures. Metallic gold page edges on all sides. Illustrations by Beatrice Pagden. Introductory note by John Bidwell. 152 pages. 9'' x 5¾''. Housed in a slipcase covered in teal cloth and blocked in gold. Printed and bound in Germany. Housed in The Morgan Library & Museum in New York is a rarely-seen jewel of Arts and Crafts book production - a personalised copy of William Morris's poetic masterpiece 'Love is Enough', hand-illustrated on every page with vibrant floral watercolours by Beatrice Pagden, and strikingly bound by the legendary Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson for its original owner, Morris's publisher and confidant, Frederick Startridge Ellis. Every element of this unique volume has been recreated for the first time in this meticulous facsimile: the fresh colours of the beautiful illustrations, the luxurious binding (including the tiny signature, 18 C-S 87, that is blocked on the rear doublure), and even the feel of its pages. The result is a breath-taking combination of text, illustration and case that perfectly embodies Morris's vision of the 'beautiful book'.
