SOLD AS A SET ONLY

Set of two (2) rare, authentic, antique Shakespeare costume books:

Volume 1 (As You Like It)
Volume 2 (Twelfth Night)

Printed/published in London in 1889

Features gorgeous illustrations of authentic costumes for the classic play by William Shakespeare

Extremely rare and difficult to find.  Ideal for the collector of rare, priceless books and Shakespeare memorabilia.  

Beautifully illustrated by Robert L. Boocke.  

Fair antique condition, considering the folio is over 130 years old.  All pages appear to be intact.  The print and drawings on the pages are still vibrant and clear, as depicted.  Volume 1 does not come with the blue hard cover.  Volume 2 still retains its blue hard cover, but the back cover page is loose.  Already reflected in the price. 

There are even period adverts for such items as corsets on the back of the book.  

Note:  "Shakespearian" is the archaic spelling of "Shakespearean"
