(MORRIS, WILLIAM) "William Morris Centenary 1834-1896." A reproduction of Carl S. Junge's portrait drawing of Morris. Boston: Thomas G. Boss Fine Books, 1996. Appx. 24 inches tall by 18 inches wide, printed at the workshop of Charles River Lithography in black ink on laid paper. Available in two editions:
A. Limited edition signed by the publisher, Thomas G. Boss. $50.00 (+ shipping)
B. Regular issue, unsigned. This, the second in our series of classic Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Arts & Crafts graphic images, is an enlarged reproduction of a portrait of William Morris designed by Carl S. Junge that originally appeared as an illustration in "The Inland Printer" magazine at the turn of the century. This was one of a series of literary portraits by Junge done for the magazine. It features Morris sitting in a chair of his own design in the foreground, with a shade and wallpaper of Morris's design as a backdrop. The whole image is surrounded by a floral border, also of Morris-esque design, with his name inscribed at the bottom. This is the only reproduction of Junge's very handsome image, produced finally in a size that does justice to its subject. $35.00 (+ shipping)
