Shakespeare, William Ellen Terry Shakespeare (complete set of 40). This edition is carefully edited and compared with the best texts by J Talfourd Blair. Bryce, David & Son Glasgow. 1904. India paper. Original dark blue or decorated endpapers. Each volume has a frontispiece. Each volume is 32 x 49 mm. Original harlequin slim calf bindings. Lettering on spine and uppper cover in gilt with elaborate leaf decoration on spines and floral title borders (very minor degrees of slight rubbing to the top of the spines). Complete with original three-shelved carved gated hanging wooden bookcase with hinged doors; the back has its original metal eyes for hanging up with string (very minor damage to top and bottom of wooden carvings). Garbett said, "The only example I have been able to locate is in the National Library of Scotland. I have seen an advertisement for a Wall Bracket Bookcase, with carved decoration above and below double doors for 45 shillings, and this could well be the same item". Bondy, 114. Garbett, 44.
