Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Hand-List of the Drawings and Engravings Illustrative of the Life of Shakespeare, Preserved at Hollingbury Copse, Near Brighton
It is very difficult to meet with pictorial illustrations of the Life of Shakespeare that belong to even a small antiquity. With the ex ception of two or three found in periodicals, and which are sufficiently common, any of the kind which were executed more than seventy years ago are of exceedingly rare occurrence. The Bodleian Library, so rich in English topography, has none while in that enormous literary ware house, the British Museum, there are hardly any of the slightest interest.
