The first set of prints was issued in 1791, the last in 1803. Condition: Very Good. All are tanned at the edges. All are foxed to some degree. The most heavy foxing is on The Merry Wives of Windsor that is included in the photographs. Richard III and Macbeth are creased.This affects the engraved part of the sheets. King Henry VI and Titus Andronicus have creases to a corner. A repair has been made to secure a corner from the reverse side of As You Like It. The Tempest is marked at the edges with black streaks that do not affect the image but discolour the surround. TheTaming of The Shrew has creasing to two corners; a repair has been made to another and to a closed tear from the reverse side. There is loss to another corner. This has been repaired but the paper used is a poor match. A neat repair has been made to a short tears at the edge of the same sheet.…
