The Fourth Folio

William Shakespeare, 1685

SHAKESPEARE, William (1564-1616). Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies. Published according to the true Original Copies. Unto which is added, Seven Plays, never before Printed in Folio. London: [Robert Roberts and others] for H. Herringman, E. Brewster, and R. Bentley, 1685.



Shakespeare's Fourth Folio in contemporary calf. The Lissauer copy of the Brewster/Bentley issue. The last edition of Shakespeare's plays to be published in the 17th century, the text of the Fourth Folio provided the basis for most of the editions of the following hundred years. The first collected edition to appear in over twenty years, it met a renewed interest in the Bard’s work and became part of Herringman’s series of folio publications of the pre-Restoration "Triumvirate of Wit" (Shakespeare, Jonson, and Fletcher, see lots 21 and 22). Herringman and his co-publishers decided on a larger paper size to increase the number of lines per page and decrease the bulk of the book. Wing S-2915; Greg III, pp. 1119-21; Pforzheimer 910.



Folio (346 x 213mm). 458 leaves. Shakespeare's portrait engraved by Martin Droeshout in fourth state (portrait leaf remargined, affecting a few letters of poem, and final leaf with blank bottom half renewed; about 20 text leaves with closed tears, 4 leaves with outer margins strengthened). Contemporary mottled calf, edges red (rebacked and recornered). Custom chemise and box. Provenance: marginalia throughout, sometimes cropped, from different periods – Arthur Wilmer Lissauer, 1888-1973 (morocco label; not in his sale) – Mildred Potter Lissauer, 1897-1998; (bookplate).
