Since Adirondack Retro acquired Darvill's Rare Prints in August of 2022, we have been working tirelessly on our New State-Of-The Art Website. We are excited to announce that it is now up and running and that our massive inventory of Antique Prints and Rare Maps are being transferred over to the new site daily. In addition to the nearly 500,000 prints found on www.DarvillsRarePrints.com, Adirondack Retro offers an eclectic selection of Antique and Vintage Advertisements along with their Limited Edition Giclee Prints. During this transition, customers will still be able to shop and make purchases on www.DarvillsRarePrints.com.

The Dramatic Works of William Shakspere [sic] [Shakespeare]...
by Henry Stebbing, M.A.
London: James S. Virtue
—1848—
[NOTE: our plates have John McGowan of London as the publisher, but they are identical to the Virtue plates, thus we believe the printing was started by McGowan and then taken over by Virtue. Public records for McGowan are only available between 1825-1845.]

Original steel engravings over 175 years old — NOT modern reproductions!

Sheet size: approx. 7 3/4 x 10 inches • Image size: varies, but most are about 4 1/2 x 5 7/8 inches.
All sheets have at least some foxing, though the image area is clean in most cases.
Please see enlargements for extent of foxing, very typical of prints from this time period.
