Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb is one of the most beloved introductions to Shakespeare ever written, distilling the plays into accessible prose narratives that have introduced generations of readers to the Bard. This particular copy is a genuine collector's edition: the 1904 or 1905 printing of H.M. Caldwell Co.'s Remarque Edition of Literary Masterpieces, bound in full limp leather with gilt top edges and featuring the distinctive small pictorial "remarque" motif stamped directly onto the leather cover — a hallmark decorative detail that gives this edition its name and its collectible appeal.
The book carries an inscription dated 1905, adding a layer of personal provenance from the very year of publication. Illustrated throughout, this is a beautifully produced antique edition of a genuine literary classic.
Antique condition — wear and damage to the leather cover, loose spine. Ships from Altadena, CA.
