EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent title page, a copper engraving by Martin Droeshout, heralds the publication of the First Folio of William Shakespeare's Plays, a groundbreaking work that has left an indelible mark on the English language and the world of literature. Published in London by Isaac Jaggard and Edward Blount (Blount) in 1623, this folio volume is considered one of the most influential books ever published. The First Folio is a rare and precious treasure, preserving for posterity approximately 20 of Shakespeare's plays that would otherwise have been lost to the sands of time. The plays are categorized into three genres: comedies, histories, and tragedies. Each genre is denoted by its respective label, with "Comedies," "Histories," and "Tragedies" appearing in elegant script below the title. Shakespeare's genius is encapsulated in this theatrical masterpiece, which not only provides the definitive text for many of his works but also offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 17th century. The title page's intricate design, with its ornate border and the portrait of the enigmatic playwright, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Shakespeare's plays and the power of the printed word. The First Folio's publication represents a pivotal moment in the history of literature, as it solidified Shakespeare's status as a preeminent playwright and set the stage for the continued exploration and enjoyment of his works for generations to come.
