For your consideration is a beautiful set of three (3) vintage Shakespeare "Keepsake" editions published by The Composing Room in New York. These were produced as limited, non-commercial editions for friends of the publisher to showcase excellence in typography, book design, and contemporary illustration.
This lot includes:
1. The Tempest (1971): Illustrated by Jack Wolfgang Beck.
2. Othello (1974): Illustrated by Isadore Seltzer.
3. King Richard II (1975): Illustrated by Isadore Seltzer.
Condition Report:
• Books: Excellent vintage condition. The leatherette and cloth bindings are tight, and the gold-stamped titles on the spines remain bright and legible. Interiors are clean with no writing, foxing, or torn pages.
• Slipcases: All three original cloth-covered slipcases are included. They show light shelf wear consistent with age but remain structurally sound and protective.
• Overall: A very well-preserved set perfect for a Shakespeare collector or a fan of mid-century graphic design and typography.
