Item Overview
Description:
A Miniature Library of William Shakespeare, Comprising Approximately 46 Volumes in a Tabletop Bookcase
A Miniature Library of William Shakespeare, comprising approximately 46 small-format volumes housed within a dark-stained wooden tabletop bookshelf. The books are uniformly bound in dark red/maroon material, likely leather or fine cloth, featuring gilt lettering on the spines and a central gilt crest on the covers. Visible titles include 'King Lear,' 'Othello,' 'The Sonnets,' 'Romeo and Juliet,' 'King Henry IV Part I & II,' and 'King Richard III,' among others. This ensemble suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century collected edition of classical literature.
