[The illustrations from Sir Thomas Hanmer's 'Works of Shakespear'.]
F.Hayman Inv. H. Gravelot Sculp.
[Oxford: University Press, c.1743-4.]
Original wrappers; 39 engraved plates, in ink on frontis "Thos. Norris"; c.250 x 175mm (9¾ x 7"), with very large margins. Binding strained, some plates with small tears in margins, damp staining and age-toning.
The complete set of 36 scenes engraved by Hubert Gravelot after Francis Hayman. The other three plates are a portrait of Shakespeare after Houbraken, his memorial in Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-upon-Avon and Scheemakers' 18th-century monument in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey. The Oxford University Press published a deluxe six-volume illustrated edition of Shakespeare, the first complete edition to be published outside London. The fine bindings and the quality of the illustrations made the edition very popular; however Sir Thomas Hanmer (1677-1746, a Speaker of the House of Commons) had edited the text (not present here) with his own conjectures, without indictating what he had changed. 'William Shakespeare: A Textual Companion' (1997) describes the edition as ''one of the worst in the eighteenth century''.
