About this Item

New York: James S. Virtue Publishers, undated but circa 1875. Large Folio, 15"x11 1/4", soft orange wrappers with black imprinting and decorations on the covers, large frontis engraving + paper guard + 32 pp. Good; spine slits at top and bottom, occasional spots of moderate foxing, minor right-edge tatter at front cover caused by circuit binding. See scans. One of 48 separate serialized subscription offerings issued under the title "The Works of Shakspere (sic) Edited by Charles Knight", this entry in the series is The Works of Shakspere (sic) Edited by Charles Knight. King Henry VIII Act I through Act III, following a very large engraving, "Othello Relating His Adventures" (from, of course, Othello, not the feature play of this edition), executed by C.W. Cope, R.A. Pinx T. and T. Vernon. Sculpt., then 10 pp. of commentary of King Richard III, then introductory commentary on King Henry VIII, then the work itself. The sporadic nature of inclusions in each of the 48 editions of the series was presumably a decision by the publisher to enhance general ongoing interest in all issues from the subscribers. A scarce form of Knight's editing, and one claimed by the probably-not-unbiased Virtue & Yorston to be "The Best Edition of Shakspere Published" (referring to the entire subscription series of 48 numbers). Please review scans. L-lng2.
