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

 

In the mid-19th-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 American edition was published in New York by Martin and Johnson who used Halliwell, Knight, and Collier’s translations. An impressive example of Shakespeare.
