Shakespeare, William

Beschreibung

12mo 7" - 7½" tall; Eight hardcover volumes housed in the publisher's original lidded, green cloth covered box. Inside lid of the box lined with a large printed label with the secondary title - "The Handy Illustrated Shakespeare" with publisher information and contents listed by volume. Comprises the complete dramatic works; Text is the "last corrected edition of Johnson and Steevens"--Vol. 1, p. x. All eight volumes snugly bound in green cloth, uniform with the cloth box. Titles brightly in decorative gilt to spines. Just mild crimping to cloth at some spine ends and a few instances of superficial reading/handling to the text pages. Cloth box is sound with some light fray to one edge of the open side. Lid has splits in two of the short corners and is missing one of the long panels that form the lip of the lid. Each volume sllustrated with about 5 to 6 plates from woodcuts, signed in the plates by various hands. Rather well preserved example of an uncommon example of this set of Shakespeare's plays. Books VG++ in a VG or so lidded box. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 32600
