1878 EXQUISITE William Shakespeare Illustrated Charles Knight Romeo Juliet 2v

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

In the mid-19^th-century, Charles Knight published an illustrated edition of the works of Shakespeare, a set that proved to be very popular throughout the English-speaking world, into the late 1800s. It included all of 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 1878 American edition was published in Philadelphia by Amies. An impressive example of Shakespeare.
