- Die Kelmscott Press war von 1891 bis 1898 eine englische Privatdruckerei. Sie wurde von dem englischen Dichter, Politiker und Designer William Morris gegründet. Dieser war mit seinen Forderungen an ein schönes Buch richtungweisend für den Beginn einer neuen Buchkultur und Buchkunstbewegung in England, die später auch in Deutschland fruchtete. (de)
- The Kelmscott Press, founded by William Morris and Emery Walker, published fifty-three books in sixty-six volumes between 1891 and 1898. Each book was designed and ornamented by Morris and printed by hand in limited editions of around 300. Many books were illustrated by Edward Burne-Jones. Kelmscott Press books sought to replicate the style of 15th-century printing and were part of the Gothic revival movement. Kelmscott Press started the contemporary fine press movement, which focuses on the craft and design of bookmaking, often using hand presses. While their most famous books are richly decorated, most Kelmscott Press books did not have elaborate decoration, but were published simply. Morris was interested in medieval book design, visiting the Bodleian Library often with Burne-Jones to examine illuminated manuscripts. He designed and published several books before founding Kelmscott Press. Book dealers and designers complained about the poor quality of books published on the new rotary printing presses. Morris agreed that their quality was poor. After attending a lecture by Emery Walker on book design, Morris was inspired to collaborate with him on a new font of type, and their collaboration led to the founding of the Kelmscott Press, named after Kelmscott Manor, Morris's home in Oxfordshire. Walker enlarged photographs of fine typefaces for Morris to trace and take inspiration from. Morris then drew his new font design at the enlarged size, which Walker in turn reduced. All three of Morris's fonts were created this way. Morris loved the aesthetics of fifteenth-century books and modelled his margins and spacing after them. He put smaller spaces between words and lines to create a block of text, and had large outer margins where he put shoulder-notes. Some Kelmscott books were heavily decorated with woodblock designs created by Morris. To create the look of an uninterrupted block of text, Morris sometimes printed poetry as prose. Kelmscott Press's most famous book was its edition of the complete works of Chaucer. The Chaucer contains 87 engravings by Edward Burne-Jones and many designs and initials by Morris. The book is considered a masterpiece of the fine press medium. The Press closed shortly after Morris's death, but has exerted a huge influence on book production throughout the world. (en)

- The Kelmscott Press was een Engelse drukkerij en uitgeverij, opgericht door William Morris, bekend van de Arts-and-craftsbeweging. In 1891 begon Morris met een van zijn laatste projecten; het drukken van boeken met een hoge kwaliteit. Hij had zich al lang geërgerd aan de slechte kwaliteit van het drukwerk in zijn leven. Hij streefde naar een drukkerij die de pracht van de middeleeuwse drukkers, zoals onder andere William Caxton, zou benaderen. Het eerste boek dat The Kelmscott Press zou uitgeven was de vertaling van Caxtons The Golden Legend of Voragine. In zijn huis in Hammersmith had Morris een handpers opgesteld en hij maakte uitsluitend gebruik van handgeschept papier. Maar met het papier lukte het niet zo best en hij besloot toen het boekje The Story of the Glittering Plain als eerste uitgave te gaan drukken. Alle boeken van deze nieuwe drukkerij hadden een gelimiteerde oplaag en waren uiteraard bestemd voor de beter gesitueerden. De oplaag van het tweede boek Poems by the Way was 300 exemplaren. Zijn boeken met randen en initialen van hemzelf en illustraties door Edward Burne-Jones, Walter Crane en Charles March Gere werden al spoedig bekend. In het zevenjarig bestaan van de the Kelmscott Press kwamen 53 uitgaven tot stand. De Koninklijke Bibliotheek verkreeg in 1954 een handgemaakte kast met daarin alle 53 uitgaven van de Kelmscott Press; deze werd in permanente bruikleen gegeven aan het Huis van het boek. (nl)
- Kelmscott Press é uma editora de livros fundada por William Morris em janeiro de 1891, na cidade de Hammersmith, Londres. Foi criada para produzir exemplos de design aprimorado de impressão e livros. Ele desenvolveu tipos claros de letras, tais como seu tipo 'dourado' romano, que foi inspirado pelo tipo do antigo tipógrafo veneziano , e bordas decorativas medievalizadas para livros que eram inspirados pelos do século XV e suas ilustrações talhadas em madeira. A seleção de papel e tinta e a preocupação com a integração completa entre tipo e decorações nas páginas fez da Kelmscott Press a mais famosa das gráficas particulares do Movimento das Artes e Ofícios. Ela operou até 1898, produzindo 53 volumes e inspirando outras gráficas particulares. Entre os amantes de livros, sua edição de Os Contos da Cantuária é considerado um dos mais belos livros já produzidos. (pt)
- «Ке́лмскотт-пресс» (англ. Kelmscott Press) — частная книгопечатня, основанная английским поэтом и художником Уильямом Моррисом в 1891 году. Одним из главных её отличий было использование традиционных книгопечатных технологий. Предприятие просуществовало до 1898 года. Книги «Келмскотт-пресс» возродили ремесло книгопечатания времен Гутенберга и Мануция, а также существенно повлияли на улучшение качества массовой книги . (ru)
