Consists of 16 leaves (including title page) of mounted drawings and proofs, and one folded sheet by William Morris for initials, borders and illustrations for his poem "Love is enough". The title page has an illuminated initial colored in red. The remaining images are pencil or ink on paper. All images are mounted on rectos. Morris was apparently unable to find a complementary typeface for his designs and issued an undecorated book in 1873. In 1898, two years after his death, the Kelmscott Press published an illustrated version utilizing only a portion of the original ornaments. Some pages have ms. inscriptions in pencil, probably by S. C. Cockerell, Morris' secretary.
