SHAKESPEARE ONCE A PRINTER AND A BOOKMAN. Lecture one of the twelfth series of printing trade lectures at Stationers’ Hall, London, E. Friday, Twentieth October 1933. With four illustrations on Nippon vellum and 500 supporting quotations. Published by SHAKESPEARE PRESS. Limited First Edition of 450 Copies Only. A concise yet intriguing work exploring the possibility that William Shakespeare had hands-on experience in the printing trade. Jaggard, a descendant of William Jaggard-the printer of Shakespeare’s First Folio-analyzes Shakespeare’s texts to identify a significant number of printing and publishing terms. He argues that this linguistic evidence suggests Shakespeare may have worked in a print shop, potentially that of his ancestor. The book includes a master list of such terms and their contexts within Shakespeare’s works. Some marks on the cover, front and back. Some scuffs on the corners. Inside is good with no issues except 2 small blue marks on pages 16 & 17. Please see photos for details or message me for more information. Please see my other items as I have many interesting old books available and add more daily.
