Cloth binding for ‘The Library Shakespeare’

John Leighton

1873–75

Cloth binding

Unsigned

A muted version of the serialized issue, which would make it into a more appropriate publication to put on the shelves in a middle-class home.The dark green cloth is very typical of the restrained palette of the 1870s.
