Macbeth by William Shakespeare is the second work of the English poet, after the Sonnets, published by Rambler. This time the translator is Józef Paszkowski.
We modelled the book on the famous edition of the poet's complete works, published by the publisher John Bell in London in the 1780s. Like the English original, our edition of Macbeth was set in the Monotype Bell typeface, cut by Richard Austin for the publisher John Bell around 1787. The frontispiece features the engraving "The Birth of Shakespeare" by Angelika Kauffmann . We also used ornaments used by Bell's bookbinders on the cover.
Macbeth by William Shakespeare was printed in an edition of 25, numbered copies on Zuber Rieder 120 g cotton paper in a 166×233 mm format. Hand-bound in full leather. Marbled edges of the block. With a case.
