Description:
|
A page opening from Act II Scene II as seen in the 1930 limited edition of Hamlet printed by Cranach Press. The typographical arrangement was done by Count Harry Kessler. Edited by J. Dover Wilson from the text of the second quarto printed in 1604-05. Also included are English translations of the stories of Saxo Grammaticus and Belleforest. Only 300 numbered editions were printed on handmade paper with illustrations by Edward Gordon Craig. Craig worked for 17 years on the woodcuts, which are all black or black on grey, with the exception of one in blue - Ophelia standing before the window.
