Rare prints and maps...Since 1918! Click here to go to Darvill's home page.

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 Works of Shakspere [sic] [Shakespeare]
Charles Knight, editor
Published by Virtue and Co., London
circa 1860-1870

Original steel engraved plates about 150 years old — NOT modern reproductions!

Sheet size: approx. 10 x 14 inches • Image size: varies, but most are about 7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches.

Please click on the thumbnails below for an enlarged view. Please note that the entire sheet is too large to scan, thus only the scannable portion is shown but the margins are full, as issued. Most plates have at least some foxing.

NOTE: THE ENGRAVINGS ON THIS PAGE ARE ON A SMALLER SIZE SHEET THAN THOSE ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE.
THE ENGRAVED IMAGE SIZE IS, HOWEVER, THE SAME. THEY ARE PROBABLY FROM A SLIGHTLY LATER EDITION.
