Bindings. 1788 The Dramatick Writings of William Shakespeare. London: John Bell. Twenty volumes. Contemporary tree calf boards, neatly rebacked with the original spines having been laid down. Gilt decorations to spine, original morocco spine labels (vol viii with later replacement), gilt titles and borders. Rubbing and wear to the spines commensurate with age, including occasional losses, rebacked and with bumping to the edges and joints. Extremities rather worn resulting in slight loss, some smoke damage to upper edges of boards. Two books with some scratch damage to boards. Marbled endpapers. Contemporary ownership inscriptions. Pages are a touch age-toned, generally clean of spotting, some damp staining towards the bottom of the plates of vol vii and on occasion elsewhere. A quite lovely late 18th century library set, illustrated and with the original spines and boards. 8vo. (20) Publisher: John Bell Publisher Location: London Publication Date: 1788 Binding: Hardcover
