The Purple Copy
open to Two Gentlemen of Verona
At the Folger, I'm known as Folio number 36, or the "purple" copy. This is because 5 of my leaves have an unusual purple tint. One of my fellow Folios, number 78, also has leaves with the same purple tint, suggesting that someone pillaged the same First Folio to make us both complete. Incredibly, I consist of leaves from at least 5 different First Folios! Henry and Emily Folger purchased me in 1901 for $892.50. |
