Falstaff Edition of Shakespeare’s Works

The “Falstaff Edition” of Shakespeare’s works refers to several late 19th- and early 20th-century sets published under that name, notable for their collectible bindings and, in some cases, limited print runs. These editions were produced by various publishers, including Bliss, Sands & Co. (London), Sands & Company, and John D. Morris (Philadelphia).

Like this set, the three-quarter leather bindings are particularly prized by collectors for their durability and decorative appeal, featuring raised bands, gilt titling, and marbled endpapers or boards.
