The Kelmscott Press completed the Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer. It took four years to make – Morris met with Burne-Jones to discuss the designs for the Chaucer on 16 July 1892.
By 8 August 1894 Sydney Cockerell recorded that the first page of the Chaucer was printed and then, on the 2 June 1896 the first two copies of the Kelmscott Chaucer were finally delivered from the binders after being complete on the 8 May. Morris’s copy is now in the library at Exeter College, Oxford.
