Signed limited edition, number 194 of 750 copies signed by the artist. The publishers also issued a single volume trade edition of this work. Kent's full-page illustrations have, "like the Moby Dick images, shaped at least two generations' understanding of the characters portrayed" (Stanley, p. 48). In his autobiography, Rockwell Kent noted Shakespeare as his "favourite author", before noting "a few others" too (Kent, p. 599). Rockwell Kent, It's Me O Lord, 1955; Eliot H. Stanley, Rediscovering Rockwell Kent, 1997. 2 volumes, quarto. Original blue cloth, spines lettered in gilt on vellum labels, front covers with designs in blind, top edges gilt. With 2 colour frontispieces, 38 full-page plates, black and white illustrations in the text, all by Kent. Some light abrasions to binding, some wear to vellum labels, minor browning to endpapers, lacking slipcase: a very good set.

Each play is illustrated with a full page plate by Rockwell Kent (titled at verso). Designed by A.P. Tedesco and printed at the Country Life Press.

Slipcase shows light/moderate shelf/edge wear, wear at fore-edge, most seams split, all seams reinforced with Japanese hinge paper at inside, several small bits of tape at upper seams, moisture spotting at top and onlay, else clean. Blue beveled cloth boards, vellum spine labels, gilt lettering and decorative elements, frontispiece(s), teg. 4to. 1527pp. Illus. (b/w plates). Limited numbered edition, this being 543 of 750, signed by Kent. Near Fine [Textblock Fine] in Good+ Slipcase.
