Atalanta in Calydon: First Kelmscott edition, one of 250 copies on paper. Swinburne admired Kelmscott Press publications and described the present edition to Morris as "certainly one of the loveliest examples of even your incomparable press".Swinburne's poem, first published in 1865, had dedicatory poems and quotations in Greek. Morris set these in type from Macmillan and Company, designed during 1892 by Selwyn Image, with assistance from Emery Walker; this is therefore the only Kelmscott Press book printed, partly, in type not designed by Morris himself.
