SANGORSKI, Alberto (1862-1932), calligrapher and illuminator. RIVIERE & SON, binders. SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616). “The Potency of Love. An Anthology.” [London, 1918-21.]
“Love’s feeling is more soft, and sensible,
Than are the tender horns of cockled snails…”
Alberto Sangorski illuminated manuscript with extensive illustrations: 14 large miniatures depicting scenes of women and putti, views of Stratford-upon-Avon, and portraits of Shakespeare. Executed in a color scheme of predominately rich purples, dark greens and blues, the borders frequently incorporating jewel shapes and hearts. The calligraphed certification leaf at the end reads: "The Potency of Love. An Anthology by William Shakespeare and 'Tributes of Three Centuries' a Monograph written by Sir Sidney Lee on the occasion of the Tercentenary of the death of the poet April 1916. This manuscript was designed, written out, and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski. This manuscript will not be duplicated," and signed by Sangorski. This is a stunning production.
