  Klappentext

  Dieses Design mit seiner Goldprägung stammt von einem Einband, der Christian Samuel Kalthoeber, einem in London wirkenden deutschen Buchbinder, zugeschrieben wird. Er schuf den prachtvollen neuen Einband für dieses Exemplar von Shakespeares First Folio um 1800. Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories & Tragedies, 1623 in London erschienen, gilt als eines der wertvollsten, je gedruckten Bücher.

  Zusammenfassung
  This gold-tooled design comes from a 1990s binding crafted by Scott Husby, who used fragments from the early 1800s to create a beautiful new cover for this copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. Originally published in 1623, Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies (or, First Folio) is the only reliable text for nearly 20 of Shakespeare's plays, including The Tempest and Twelfth Night.Today, the First Folio is one of the most valuable books in the world, with one being sold in 2001 for over $6 million. There are only 235 surviving copies, from approximately 750 printed, and the Folger holds nearly one third of them, including the binding reproduced here.
