THE BOOK OF SHAKESPEARE GEMS: In a Series of Landscape Illustrations of the Most Interesting Localities of Shakespeare's Dramas.

SHAKESPEARE, William et al.

Verlag: Bohn, London., 1846

Beschreibung

44 fine engravings of places referred to or connected with Shakespeare's works, some showing just the scene and some the drama also; with comments on them by various writers. A fine binding in full green leather by J.Wright, elaborately decorated in gilt on both covers, the spine, and on the inner edges. The spine is rather sunned but the rest bright. The binding is in "perfect" style, ie no sewing, with some early pages, as often, detaching. Faint marks to yellow endpapers, otherwise very good indeed. Acquired from Maud Lloyd, an admired leading dancer with Ballet Rambert in the 1930s. Later she wrote, with her husband, Nigel Gosling, influential dance books and reviews under the pseudonym, 'Alexander Bland'. When Rudolph Nureyev defected in 1961, they became his surrogate parents.
