Macbeth maccy b1/24/2024 With military foresight, Malcolm orders each soldier to cut a branch and carry it in front of him as camouflage "to shadow the numbers of our host" - that is, to conceal the actual size of the advancing army. sending pics in 3 installments, i hope i shared all you need to know.The English and rebel Scottish armies, under the leadership of Malcolm, meet at Birnam Wood. if not interested, please at least let me know. i have a very good idea what they are worth so. So i would like some to have these that love the era, history ect…. did not find this out till the late 80’s when i decided to inspect them. the other books were older, but had between the pages some very nice and rare items. i may be wrong but there was maybe 38 members at that time since the club was fairly new and most members were woman. i was also told that only 11 people showed up for the signing. The member book from what my mom told me is signed by norman rockwell, history says rockwell was attending a small conference in new york and club members were notified to come see him to have there exclusive books signed that day. To make it short, look at the pics i have attached,first set is the club book, second, smaller book is the consumer edition. These were given to him by his freind who was a member of the heritage club from new york, back in the mid 30’s. i want these to go to someone who appreciates them, Hi, i have a couple of books from a box my grandfather left me back in the 70’s. This is from the 195th set.Įxamples of Craig’s Illustrations (right click and open in new tab for full size): Title Page – As with the entire set, Herbert Farjeon handled editing duties for the set.Ĭolophon – For the LEC Shakespeare, Macy upped the limitation count to 1950 from the usual 1500. Colish printed the text, while Craig’s illustrations were printed by Fernard Mourlot. He was also an accomplished wood-engraver, and I wonder how that approach might have been received.ĭesign Notes – Bruce Rogers designed the LEC Shakespeare. For his work here he focused on the costuming (per Macy’s request) with his lithographic crayon drawings, which are quite nice from that perspective. He is far better known for his acting career, where among his acclaimed roles he was the title character for our play in question. This was his second artistic rendering of Shakespeare, handling a publication of Hamlet before. Among collectors today Craig’s artwork is not revered I personally find his drawings satisfactory enough but they lack the pizazz of many of the other illustrators for this series. Gordon Craig (aka Edward Gordon Craig) marks his debut to the Limited Editions Club and George Macy’s canon, but this would be his sole contribution. I’m not the superstitious type, but it was a weird coincidence… Curiously, my production was beset by some bizarre circumstances, including the sudden and severe illness of one actress and a technician breaking their ankle on stage during dress rehearsals. It also have quite the mythology surrounding it, in particular never saying its name if you are involved in a production lest you wish to bestow the infamous “curse”. It was likely performed in 1606 for the first time, and stands as the shortest of this subset of Shakespeare’s theater. This is the first of the Bard’s tragedies we’ve covered from the series. Having been in a production of the “Scottish Play”, it is one I personally enjoy on a level beyond the text. Edited and amended by Herbert Farjeon.įront Binding – Another LEC Shakespeare for you today, this time my personal favorite play: Macbeth. Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1939-1940)Īrtwork: Drawings by Gordon Craig.
