William Shakespeare — Cymbeline

Glasgow , David Bryce and Son, 1904. Hardback. A charming miniature edition of William Shakespeare's 'Cymbeline', bound in suede. This tiny book contains one of William Shakespeare's later plays, 'Cymbeline', set in Ancient Britain and based on legends that formed the historical Celtic British King, Cunobeline. Whilst technically classed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics view this play as a romance or a comedy. Bound in full suede, with a spine label and frontispiece illustration. Carefully edited and compared with the best texts by J. Talfourd Blair. Bound in the contemporary suede. Externally, very smart, with rubbing to the extremities and fading to the spine. Mild marking to gutters at hinges. A minor chip to front free end paper extremity. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages. Very Good . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good .
