CYMBELINE. A Tragedy.

173433904London: J. Tonson 1734. A pleasing and early octavo printing. Engraved frontispiece engraved head-piece and a six-line engraved initial at the beginning of the text Small 8vo bound in later blue wrappers hand calligraphed on the cover in brown ink. 96pp. A fine and well preserved copy the blue wrappers as pristine some minor mellowing and some minor spotting in places internally. VERY SCARCE. From the important Theobold oeuvre. Although Theobold ultimately gave way to Johnson in popularity he remains one of the pre-eminent Shakespearean editors. Churton Collins writing in the DNB claimed it â€œwould not be too much to say that the text of Shakespeare owes more to Theobold than to any other editor.â€ The collection also draws on two rival editions J. Tonsonâ€™s and R. Walkerâ€™s. Although the two are nearly identical Tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against â€œsuch Useless Pirated and Maimâ€™d Editions as are publishâ€™d by the said R. Walker.â€ Cymbeline contains famous quotations among which are: Boldness be my friend: Arm me audacity from head to foot! Iachimo Act 1 Scene 6 The game is up. Belarius Act 3 Scene 3 I have not slept one wink. Pisanio Act 3 Scene 4 I see a manâ€™s life is a tedious one. Innogen Act 3 Scene 6 All gold and silver rather turn to dirt. Arviragus Act 3 Scene 6 Play judge and executioner all himself. Guiderius Act 4 Scene 2 J. Tonson unknown

TWELFTH NIGHT: OR WHAT YOU WILL Bell's Edition of Shakespeare; Or The Dramatic Writings of William Shakespeare with the Prolegomena and the Notes of all the Various Commentators; Printed Complete from the Text of Sam. Johnson and Geo. Steevens.

178533894London: John Bell British Library Strand 1785. First in the "literary edition" of Shakespeare's plays by Bell. With two frontispiece engravings in the volume. 12mo the play bound into later blue paper wrappers lettered caligraphically in brown on the upper wrapper. iv 5-103 pp. A fine copy very well preserved and with the wrappers as pristine. FIRST OF THE EDITION. The is from Steevens' and Johnson's Scholarly Edition of Shakespeare 1773. This edition prints Observations prior to each play. The "Literary" Shakespeare was published serially beginning in 1785 and collected in 20 vols. What distinguishes this edition from the others by Bell is the elaborateness of the presentation. This was the culmination of a 15 year effort to publish an edition of the Bard's works which had a high cultural value due to its edition annotation and beauty of its typography and illustration. Indeed this edition proved a social triumph for Bell with his assembled 1800 subscribers including the Royal Family except for the Sovereign along with the Queen of France monsieur the King's brother and a collection of 70 nobles. The edition was printed on smooth wove paper and in this edition Bell first replaced the long s � with the modern small rounded s an innovation which quickly caught on. There are many more portraits in this edition than in the earlier "acting" editions of Shakespeare. The engraved frontispieces feature a prominent actor or actress in the role. In contrast to the engravings of the earlier edition these portraits have oval borders and lush backgrounds. The actors themselves are rendered in a much softer more romantic style. The artists Bell commissioned were all under the age of 25 and relatively unknown. Most notable among them was the young Johan Heinrich Ramberg who had come to England from Hanover under the patronage of George III. It is because of these young artists that these portraits are so different from those in the "acting" edition. Ramberg brought with him a European aesthetic and all the artists brought the burgeoning romantic artistic trends to the drawing boards. John Bell, British Library, Strand hardcover
