Notes: The first American illustrated Shakespeare. Complete sets of this, the only printing, are scarce due to destruction of the plates in Harper's 1853 fire (See Westfall).
Issued in parts, most with wrappers having title: Harper's illuminated and illustrated Shakespeare. The fascicles, though numbered, were not intended to be bound in numerical order. The order prescribed by the publisher and printed in the table of contents (v. 1.p. [iii]) is that followed in the LC copy; Verplanck, however, urged (v. 1, p. xiii) subscribers to arrange the plays--within the three groups, Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies--in the order of their composition. To this end, the plays are each separately paged, without continuous pagination.
The text is based on Collier's; illustrations from Knight's pictorial edition. (See Jaggard).
Each volume with an added, illustrated title page.
With Some account of the life of William Shakespeare, written by Rowe, and A life of William Shakespeare, abridged from Collier.
