Nine volumes. Octavo. Handsomely bound in contemporary full diced russia with gilt tooling and titles to the spine and rolled gilt rules to the boards and turn-ins. All edges marbled. Each volume with a silk page marker. Illustrated with 37 engraved plates after original designs by Henry Fuseli, including two engraved by William Blake (Romeo and Juliet, Henry VIII). A very good set indeed, the bindings square and firm with minor rubbing and wear to the joints, a little bumping to the corners and a dent to the head of the upper board of volume IV. The contents with a discrete ninenteenth-century French ink ownership stamp for "A.A. Beaujour, Rots" to each title page and the very occasional dot of foxing are otherwise clean and bright throughout. A splendid set. A most attractive edition of Shakespeare's works, with a wonderful suite of illustrations by the Romantic artist Henry Fuseli, including two engraved by William Blake.
