Shakespeare Weekend!

This weekend we are sharing Shakespeare’s historical drama, Henry the Fourth, Part II, the tenth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. This play was likely written between 1596 and 1599. It was first printed in the First Folio in 1623. 

This volume was illustrated by the English painter and illustrator Edward Bawden (1903-1989). His watercolor illustrations were reproduced in print and pochoir. Bawden expressed that to his surprise and satisfaction his illustrations had never been so exquisitely reproduced as they are in this edition. 

His one full page illustration and ten smaller illustrations, two to a page, have the feeling of a storyboard. They appear to be quick gestural drawings with the affect of a cartoon. Washes of color add some specificity to scenes and characters. 

The volume was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish. Each of the LEC volumes of Shakespeare���s works are illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
