About this Item

Very Good. See description and scans. New York: Virtue & Yorston,12 Dey Street, New York, undated but circa 1871. 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 starting at top and bottom, modest edge roughening, occasional spots of light soil, engraving shows moderate foxing. 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 includes Act V of The Merry wives of Windsor and Acts I through V of The Comedy of Errors, plus Knight's commentary on those; in their editorial tradition of including elements from several plays in each installment - presumably to encourage ongoing and encompassing attention from the subscribers - Virtue & Yorston here includes a depiction from As You Like It, specifically "Orlando and the Wrestler" (see scan), executed by D. MacLise, R.A. Pinxt. (Artist) and C.W. Sharpe, Sculpt. (Engraver). 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-lng3.
