- Note
- Title from broadside text.
- "Our [The William Morris Society] broadside, which is an original portrait of Morris by woodcut artist Steven Lee-Davis, paired with a quote from Morris, has arrived. It was printed by the artist on one of the original presses used by Morris for the Kelmscott Press, in a limited edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. The broadside was printed on Zerkall paper, which was cut to retain a deckle on one edge. The typefaces used include Ornament, Troy, and Golden -- all of which were designed by Morris. The final print size is 9x14 inches."--The William Morris Society Facebook page.
- "This limited edition broadside was printed by hand on the original Kelmscott-Goudy Press upon commission of the WIlliam Morris Society, U.S. Portrait drawn and engraved by Steven Lee-Davis. November, 2014."
