Shakespeare's Sonnets: Quartercentenary Edition

Shakespeare's Sonnets: Quartercentenary Edition

Printed on an 1850 hand press, the text of this book is set in Doves Type, which was based on typefaces used by Nicolas Jenson, creator of the first Roman typeface in the late fifteenth century. Although the Doves Type was destroyed by 1917, it has been revived so that text can now be printed from polymer plates. The location of the sonnets throughout the book's sequence can be visually interpreted by the use of red, blue, and violet.

Shakespeare, William
