Description
1861 Works of William Shakespeare Illustrated Charles Knight Romeo & Juliet RARE



A beautiful 19th-century edition of the works of William Shakespeare!



In the mid-19th-century, Charles Knights published an illustrated edition of the works of Shakespeare, a set that proved to be exceedingly popular throughout the English-speaking world, into the late 1800s. It included all the famous works one would expect to be in a collection of Shakespeare, but unlike other editions of the same era, this particular example features the impressive full-page engravings of character portraits.



This undated American edition was published in New York by Johnson and Fry. An impressive example of Shakespeare.
