EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of William Shakespeare from the title page of his renowned collection, "Mr William Shakespeares comedies, histories, & tragedies" published in 1623. The engraving by Martin Droeshout beautifully captures the essence of this literary genius who forever shaped English literature. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) needs no introduction as he remains one of history's most celebrated playwrights and poets. This particular image is extracted from what is commonly referred to as The First Folio, a compilation that brought together many of his plays for the first time. It stands as a testament to his lasting impact on both European and global culture. The portrait itself depicts Shakespeare in a head-and-shoulders pose, exuding an air of wisdom and intrigue. Created during the early 17th century Renaissance period, it reflects the artistic style prevalent at that time. As a rare piece of publishing history, this engraving holds immense value for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Its inclusion on the frontispiece signifies its significance within this seminal work. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail with their high-quality reproduction. This print serves as a window into not only Shakespeare's world but also into our collective literary heritage.
