FIRST AND BEST EDITION PRODUCED BY THE SHAKESPEARE HEAD PRESS IN STRATFORD-ON-AVON. The Shakespeare Head Press was the dream child of A. H. Bullen who wished to produce beautiful editions of Shakespeare’s works-- set printed and bound in the famed author’s home town of Stratford-Upon-Avon. The press expanded significantly over the years and printed many wonderful editions by a plethora of writers.<br> The books were printed for A.H. Bullen and F. Sidgwick at the press in the house of Julius Shaw the poet's friend and one of the witnesses to his will. The text with essays by H.C. Beeching Robert Bridges Henry Davey E.K. Chambers J.J. Jusserand and M.H. Spielmann. The type was composed under the supervision of T.E. Summerton. The whole was printed by F.S. Cooper. The work was begun in July 1904 and finished in January 1907.<br> Colin Franklin writing in THE PRIVATE PRESSES says that in the years after the death of A. H. Bullen the Press's founder the Shakespeare Head Press "became the most mature and sophisticated of the private presses producing some works in the grand manner which are a great pleasure to read and examine now" p. 147. This set indeed is "in the grand manner" beautifully printed on fine paper and very handsomely bound and presented.<br> This is a pleasing set internally showing the full effect of the beautiful Shakespeare Head Press printing of Shakespeare. The bindings have seen much better days but are still reasonably presentable. The Shakespeare Head Press hardcover

SHAKEPEARE'S PLEASANT WORK PRESENTED IN aS PLEASING AN ILLUSTRATED format as one could hope to find. Hugh Thomson’s delightfully detailed and skillful illustrations would be hard to surpass making this a true gem in its pretty binding. Thomson's pen-and-ink drawings are in much the same style as those he did for works by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.<br> As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 the house having been a focus for literary activity under Mary Sidney for much of the later 16th century has been suggested as a possibility. <br> The play follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden. In the forest they encounter a variety of memorable characters notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches "All the world's a stage" and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.

163229673London: by Thomas Cotes for Robert Allot 1632. From the Second Folio of Shakespeare. A sheet rescued from a single folio still bearing a copy of its original title page naming Robert Allot who was owner of the rights to sixteen plays. Bi-Folium a complete bifolium 4 pp. 29 30 31 32. A large and very well preserved copy of this very rare and unusual survival original sewing holes and any other tiny imperfections expertly perfected according to the exacting standards established by the American Institute of Conservation. A RARE OFFERING FROM THE SECOND FOLIO. Made at Thomas Cotes' print shop located at the Signe of the Blacke Beare in Pads Church-yard. this is an example that few have ever seen but for the original 17th century purchasers and binders of Cotes' loose sheets and in later centuries folio conservators or binders working on the rare individual sheet that only remained in sheet form until being rebound back into its folio for use as numbered pages. It also originates from one of the first two folio editions of 1623 and 1632 of which only 1500 or so total combined copies were printed. With the hindsight of 400 years sheets were something that no one thought to preserve in 1632 These folio sheets were printed specifically for binding into complete copies of the Second Folio. Ironically extra sheets would probably have been considered "printer's waste" and discarded or perhaps given away as "mementos". [by Thomas Cotes for Robert Allot] unknown

19446199<p><strong>First edition of '<em>Antony and Cleopatra</em>' translated by Pasternak</strong>. This is the only separate edition of his translation. Printed during wartime approved for printing on June 3 1944.</p><p>This is the third Shakespeare play translated by <strong>Boris Pasternak</strong> 1890-1960 commissioned by the Moscow Art Theatre. He began work on it immediately after completing the translation of '<em>Romeo and Juliet</em>'. By the end of June 1943 the translation was ready for printing. Soviet literary critic Mikhail Morozov described this translation as '<em>the most successful</em>' emphasizing that it transcended mere translation to become a poetic dialogue between two poets. Pasternak himself likened Cleopatra to '<em>the Nastasya Filippovna of antiquity</em>' drawing parallels with heroines such as Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary. <br />Illustrations were created by <strong>Mikhail Pikov</strong> 1903-1973 a student of VKhUTEMAS under Vladimir Favorsky known for his mastery of woodcut techniques.</p><p>Zakharenko 1995. # 114.</p> OGIZ, Goslitizdat paperback
