Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 19: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, From October, 1904, to July, 1905, Being the Season 1904-1905 This volume of Book-Prices Current is remarkable for the large number of scarce and valuable books reported in its pages. Of late years, some twenty-five or thirty single volumes or works have each, as a rule, realised £100 or upwards during the course of a season. That may be taken as being about the average, but anyone who took the trouble to go through the following pages would find that this number has been very greatly exceeded. The Shakespeariana alone constitute a formidable list. One copy of the first folio made its appearance, nine of the second, one of the third and seven of the fourth; and, in addition, there were twenty-five early 4to.´s or 8vo.´s, inclusive of the "Merry Divel of Edmonton" and that precursor of "King Lear" which was printed for Simon Stafford for John Wright in 1605 under the title of "The True Chronicle History of King Leir and his three daughters, Gonerill, Ragan and Cordelia" (see post No. 5104). The following table gives a summary of the more important Shakespeariana reported in this volume, with the prices realised. Ordinary copies and collective editions - of which there were a large number - and more particularly a variety of acting versions, all presentation copies from Charles Kean, are not included, as from a pecuniary point of view they are comparatively unimportant.
