The substantial blue presentation portfolio is individually marked LIMITED EDITION M543. Measures 17” x 13 1/2”.
The two separate Boydell illustration plates are especially impressive and display beautifully, with generous margins and highly detailed black-and-white engraving reproductions. Also includes the printed Shakespeare text/program material and original RCA Victor record.
Condition: Interior contents appear excellent overall, including the engravings, printed material and record. The record appears exceptionally clean visually. Exterior presentation case shows visible age/use wear, including rubbing, scuffing and surface marks. Original record sleeve shows age toning/discoloration along the edges. Please review all photographs closely for exact condition.
A particularly attractive surviving example of RCA Victor’s deluxe limited-edition presentation of this recording, with the Boydell Shakespeare engravings providing substantial decorative and collecting appeal beyond the LP itself.
Carefully packed for shipping. International shipping available through ’s Global Shipping Program. Combined shipping available when practical. I make every effort to describe condition accurately and photograph noteworthy wear.
