Publisher's Synopsis
The annual Kelmscott Lectures of the William Morris Society have been given by some of the foremost scholars in the field of Morrisian studies. This pamphlet is from the 1985 Kelmscott Lecture given by Barbara Morris at The Art Workers' Guild on October 23rd 1985.
The Fifth Kelmscott Lecture was given by Barbara Morris, who chose to speak on a topic of which she has far more intimate knowledge than most, and on which none has better title to be heard. For she, like Morris, and over as long a period though under different regimes, has had a special relationship with what in Morris's day was The South Kensington Museum.
