Paris : Tériade, 1958.Exemplaire hors-commerce de cette édition illustrée de 20 eaux-fortes originales de Gromaire, avec suite signée sur vélin de Rives. «C'est Marcel Gromaire lui-même qui avait émis le désir d'illustrer Shakespeare: Tériade accepta de mettre en oeuvre cette entreprise ambitieuse; et si les illustrations de l'artiste, comme l'esprit général de l'ouvrage, s'apparentent plus aux "livres de graveurs" contre lesquels Tériade s'est toujours insurgé, il faut reconnaitre une profonde convergence entre le monde des sorcières du poète de Stratford-upon-Avon et le trait noir et infernal du peintre. Gromaire se soumet à son texte avec une très grande honnêteté» (Hommage à Teriade, p. 109).In-folio (382 x 282 mm), en feuilles, sous couverture rempliée.
