The Legend of William Morris (Lance Hidy)

As we write this description on May 6, 2026, at noonish, it’s been just one day since a copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer sold at auction for $140k. That’s the most that’s ever been spent on a standard copy of that book—by a lot. Now, get this: That copy belonged to David R. Godine. He’s a friend of Lance Hidy. Lance designed and signed this poster celebrating William Morris. William Morris designed and illustrated the Kelmscott Chaucer. So, Morris > Godine > Hidy > You. A totally striking poster.
