This stylish mug features perhaps the most famous portrait of the Bard taken from the first pages of his First Folio.
The First Folio is one of the British Library's greatest treasures. It is the collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, published seven years after his death by Isaac Iaggard and Edward Blount. It was edited or overseen by his fellow actors, John Heminge and Henry Condell, and contains the texts of 36 plays, half of which had not previously been published. The Folio was based on earlier sources (the Quartos) that show the plays as actually performed in the theatre. The title page incorporates a portrait of Shakespeare, engraved by Martin Droeshout.
Dimensions: Approx. 8cm tall x 7cm diameter
