In 1896 Morris invited Frederick Henry Evans (1853-1943) to photograph Kelmscott Manor, his country home in Oxfordshire. Morris and his wife Jane shared the house with the Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti from 1871 to 1874, and it remained a country retreat for Morris and the artists and intellectuals in his circle until his death in 1896.

In 1895, Edmund Hort New (1871-1931) was invited to Kelmscott Manor and went on to provide design work for Morris’s Kelmscott Press.

This exhibition shows work from both men capturing Morris’s home.
