Description:


[6] leaves, both printed and photolithographic facsimile. 43.5x33.5 cm. (17x13¼"), cloth-backed boards. No. 58 of 90 copies.



A finely and handsomely printed facsimile of the last will and testament of William Shakespeare, reproduced full size in photolithography, along with a printed transcription. This is a separate printing, in undoubtedly larger and grander format, of what was originally an addition to the Yearbook of the German Shakespeare Society, 1889. It is the finest printing of Shakespeare's will, the key document of his biography, with the text transcribed in a fine font. OCLC/WorldCat lists only three copies, at Herzogini Anna Amalia Bibliothek Klassik; Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin; and the National Library of Israel.

Condition
Some darkening and rubbing to boards; very good.
