196834798New York: W. W. Norton 1968. The First Issuance of the famous Norton Facsimile this copy with the original prospectus. photographically rendered facsimile of the First Folio of Shakespeare 1623. Folio publisher's full red morocco over red cloth covered boards in protective slipcase the spine with raised bands gilt ruled the compartments lettered and decorated in gilt ribbon marker red decorated endpapers. xxxvii 928 pp. A pristine copy as mint. AN IMPORTANT PRINTING AND PUBLISHING EVENT. Because of the peculiarities regarding the printing of the First Folio of the eighty or so copies at the Folger Library no two copies are identical. Professor Hinman was able to collate the Folger copies and discover all the variant readings and corrections made during the print run and for this facsimile he provides the finally corrected state of every page. As the advertisement states this is "a facsimile not of 'a' Folio but 'the' Folio." Each page is photographically reproduced without retouching or opaquing in the original size.<br> Professor Hinman has provided a valuable introduction as well as a new standardized line-numbering which replaces the standard but quite faulty act-scene-line numbers of the old Globe edition of 1864. This edition also reproduces two original proof sheets with proofreader's marks. W. W. Norton hardcover

AN IMPORTANT PRESSING OF THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS AND OF THE SCHOLARLY WRITINGS AND DISCUSSIONS UP TO THE CURRENT TIME. The plays are from Steevens' and Johnson's Scholarly Edition of Shakespeare 1773. This edition prints a two volume Prolegomena which consists of prefaces written for Shakespeare's plays over many years. A PROLEGOMENA TO THE DRAMATICK WRITINGS OF WILL. SHAKSPER includes along with all the most important prefaces both Rowe’s and Malone’s ‘Lives of Shakespeare’ the 1623 preface of Heming and Condell as well as Shakespeare's Will Commendatory Verses and an attempt to determine the original order of the plays. With 97 portraits vignettes and character plates including a foldout of signatures on Shakespeare's Will in Vol. II "an example of fans" in the Merry Wives' Annotations a foldout of the Morris Dancers in Henry IV part 1's Annotations and an extra vignette in Titus Andronicus. <br> This 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 ex-cept for the Sovereign along with the Queen of France monsieur the Kings brother and a collection of 70 nobles.<br> The edition was printed on smooth wove paper gilt edges and handsomely bound in calf probably in Bell's own bindery. 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. In the Prolegomena alone there are 8 portraits as well as several engravings of places and things related to Shakespeare. Throughout the rest of the collection each play has between 2 and 4 character portraits featuring prominent actors in the roles. 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. Printed for and Under the Direction of John Bell hardcover
