EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece, taken from an original 1599 edition of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," was once displayed proudly in the window of Cuthbert Burby's shop near the Exchange in London. The image, a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's tragic love story, showcases the titular characters in a tender moment, their gazes locked in a passionate embrace. Romeo, clad in elegant attire, cradles the fair Juliet in his arms, her delicate hand resting gently on his chest. The backdrop of the engraving is adorned with intricate floral designs, symbolizing the blooming love between the two young lovers. The exquisite detail and fine craftsmanship of the print reflect the high-quality productions that were available at Cuthbert Burby's esteemed shop. Cuthbert Burby was a renowned bookseller and stationer, known for his extensive collection of literary works and his commitment to providing the finest editions to his discerning clientele. The location of his shop near the Exchange, a bustling hub of commerce and culture in London, ensured that it was a popular destination for scholars, artists, and theatre-goers alike. The year 1599 marked a significant moment in the history of Shakespeare's plays, as it was the year that both "Henry V" and "Julius Caesar" were first published in quarto format. The publication of "Romeo and Juliet" in the same year further solidified Shakespeare's reputation as a master playwright and storyteller. This evocative frontispiece, with its timeless depiction of love and passion, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring influence of Shakespeare's works and the important role that booksellers like Cuthbert Burby played in preserving and disseminating them for future generations to enjoy.
