Happy 450th Birthday William Shakespeare (1564-2014)!
To celebrate, select items from the Library of Congress's diverse collections show just a few of the ways artists have illustrated Shakespeare's plays and characters over hundreds of years. A reduced facsimile edition of the First Folio shows Martin Droeshout's famous portrait of Shakespeare. The First Folio was published in 1623 and was the first collected edition of the plays. |
