85. SHAKESPEARE, William
Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies
London: H. Herringman, E. Brewster, and R. Bentley, 1685. Fourth folio edition.
Beautifully bound in period style, modern paneled sheep with morocco lettering label to
spine and handsomely tooled design to boards. Typical of the Shakespeare folios, many
leaves are often supplied from other copies or in facsimile. Leaves A5, 2F2, 2G3.4,
2G6, 2Q3.4, and 4B3.4 appear to be supplied from another copy. Leaves A2.3, C5,
D6, 2F1, 2K1, 4B1.6, 4B2.5, 4C6 and the frontispiece portrait are supplied in
facsimile. The pages show some scattered minor stains and smudges, a small piece from
2O2 has been restored with the missing text penciled in. There are a few other marginal
tears without loss to text, 4B3.4 frayed along top and bottom edges and rehinged.
Shakespeare’s folios are exceptionally scarce, as only a few hundred copies of each
printing exist. Given their rarity and influence, they are widely considered to be the most
important work in the English language. Containing 43 of Shakespeare’s comedies,
histories, and tragedies, the Fourth Folio was the last Shakespeare folio to be printed
in the 17th century. This edition served as the foundation for the 18th century editions,
including those edited by Nicholas Rowe and Alexander Pope. Overall, a very clean and
attractive copy of the increasingly scarce Shakespeare folio.
