This is a lovely copy of the publishing raison d'être of the Shakespeare Head Press, offered in a Sangorski & Sutcliffe binding with Elizabethan overtones in its spine decorations. The Shakespeare Head Press was established by Arthur Henry Bullen (1857-1920) at Stratford-on-Avon in 1904 for the express purpose of printing the first complete edition of Shakespeare to be published in the Bard's birthplace--an idea that he said came to him in a dream. In a move that linked his work to other printers of the Arts & Crafts movement, Bullen obtained equipment from William Morris' Kelmscott Press, including the older of the two presses on which the celebrated Works of Chaucer was printed. Ransom lists 20 titles issued by Bullen before his death. Afterwards, the press was acquired by a group headed by Oxford book dealer Basil Blackwell, and typographer Bernard Henry Newdigate took charge of production and printing. A further 72 privately printed titles were published between 1921 and 1941. Shakespeare Head had a distinguished output that deserves a rank in the second tier of English private presses along with the likes of Golden Cockerel and not much below Ashendene, Kelmscott, and Doves. Our set is distinguished by the work of one of the great 20th century English binderies. After studying under, and then working for, Douglas Cockerell, Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912. During that year, Francis drowned, and his brother, Alberto, who had been a central figure in producing the firm's vellum illuminated manuscripts, went over to Riviere. Despite these losses, the firm grew and prospered, employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century.…

328 x 242 mm. (13 x 9 1/2"). Seven volumes. Publisher's deluxe chocolate brown morocco by Riviere & Son (three volumes) or olive brown morocco by Zaehnsdorf (four volumes), sides tooled in gilt with a Grolieresque-style border containing dolphins, fleurs-de-lys, acanthus leaves, and flame tool, raised bands, spine panels with small gilt "X" tool, gilt titling, top edges gilt, other edges untrimmed. With a total of 42 color collotype plates and 99 woodcuts in the text by Albert Rutherston, Norman Wilkinson, Charles Ricketts, Thomas Lowinsky, Paul Nash, and Ernst Stern. Front pastedown with bookplate of John Herbert Bankes and Mary Priscilla Smith. Ransom, p. 12. Spines sunned to more closely matching shades of brown, leather with other trivial imperfections (just a hint of rubbing, one volume with small traces of insect activity, faint residue from leather preservative), but the bindings in very fine condition, bright, essentially unworn, and making a very pleasing appearance on the shelf. Occasional minor foxing to endpapers or tissue guards, but a clean, fresh, and bright set internally. From a press that was established for the express purpose of printing an edition of Shakespeare in his home town, this is a handsome folio-sized series of Shakespearean plays with text from the First Folio, enhanced with illustrations by leading artists of the day and with bindings from two of the longest-running premier binderies in England. The set comprises: "Cymbeline," illustrated by Albert Rutherston (1923); "The Merchant of Venice," illustrated by Thomas Lowinsky (1923); "Macbeth," illustrated by Charles Ricketts (1923); "Loves Labour's Lost," illustrated by Norman Wilkinson (1924); "A Midsommer Nights Dreame," illustrated by Paul Nash (1924); "Julius Caesar," illustrated by Ernst Stern (1925); and "King Lear," illustrated by Paul Nash (1927). Ransom notes that the first two plays were issued on 23 April, the date of Shakespeare's birth. The Shakespeare Head Press was founded in Stratford by Arthur Henry Bullen in 1904 and was acquired after Bullen's death in 1920 by Basil Blackwell of Oxford (and others), who appointed the distinguished scholar-printer Bernard Newdigate (1869-1944) as typographer. Under Newdigate, the Shakespeare Head Press produced a substantial number of impressive editions, sometimes employing a hand press used by William Morris at the Kelmscott Press. According to Franklin, while under Newdigate's direction, the Shakespeare Head Press "became the most mature and sophisticated of the private presses." Both the Zaehnsdorf and the Riviere workshops opened in the second quarter of the 19th century, and quickly became leading West End binderies, continuing in business well into the 20th century. While individual volumes from the present series appear on the market with some regularity (though not usually in the deluxe binding), complete runs of the seven volumes of the deluxe edition are rarely seen. No. 11 OF 106 SIGNED SETS printed on Batchelor's Kelmscott paper, this being one of 100 copies for sale, from an overall edition limited to 606 copies, each volume signed by the editor Harley Granville-Barker, the art editor Albert Rutherston, and the volume's illustrator. …

Offered here in an immaculate Designer binding, this is an attractively printed selection of 25 beloved sonnets from the press founded to produce a complete edition of Shakespeare's works in the Bard's hometown. Established by A. H. Bullen in 1904, the Shakespeare Head Press was acquired by Oxford book dealer Basil Blackwell after Bullen's death in 1920, and operated by printer and typographer Bernard Newdigate, under whose direction it "began to produce finely printed and designed books in the private press tradition." (Oxford Companion to the Book) Binder Ann Thornton was elected a licentiate of Designer Bookbinders in 1992 and a Fellow in 1995. She prefers traditional methods and materials for her work, which is represented in the British Library, the Royal Library of Copenhagen, and many private collections. …
