It’s about knowing oneself

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the publication of the ‘Kelmscott Chaucer’, The William Morris Society reached out to contemporary letterpress printers inviting them to reimagine and print a short extract from the original book. The extract was ‘Google translated’ using every language available in Google Translate. From English to Afrikaans, from Afrikaans to Albanian, and so on in alphabetical order, and from Zulu to English again. The original excerpt is printed under the ‘translation’.
