Notes |
From Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery. This print is one in a series published by the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, a project founded by the engraver, printmaker, and publisher, John Boydell. Boydell brought together many of Britain's most famous artists to work on the project, including Sir Joshua Reynolds, Henry Fuseli, and George Romney. The resurgent interest in Shakespeare during the late 18th century eventually inspired Boydell to publish a 'magnificent and accurate' illustrated edition of Shakespeare's works. Condition: Large water stain to right margin, not affecting image, and a small stain to left margin, slightly encroaching into image. Tear to lower edge of sheet, and some time toning and discolouration to edges. |
