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.<br> 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.<br> 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. <br> 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

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

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 “would not be too much to say that the text of Shakespeare owes more to Theobold than to any other editor.â€<br> The collection also draws on two rival editions J. Tonson’s and R. Walker’s. Although the two are nearly identical Tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against “such Useless Pirated and Maim’d Editions as are publish’d by the said R. Walker.†<br> Henry VI Part III contains famous quotations among which are:<br><br>How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown<br>Within whose circuit is Elysium<br>And all that poets feign of bliss and joy.<br>Richard Act 1 Scene 2<br><br>O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide!<br>York Act 1 Scene 4 <br><br>My crown is in my heart not on my head.<br>King Henry Act 3 Scene 1<br><br>Yet hasty marriage seldom proveth well.<br>Gloucester Act 4 Scene 1<br><br>For trust not him that hath once broken faith.<br>Lady Grey Act 4 Scene 4<br><br>Fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.<br>Gloucester Act 4 Scene 7<br><br>And live we how we can yet die we must.<br>Warwick Act 5 Scene 2<br><br>Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.<br>Gloucester Act 5 Scene 6<br><br><br> J.
