Shakespeare Weekend

The Plays of Shakespeare was published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co., likely in the late 1860s or early 1870s and consists of three volumes each arranging the plays into comedies, histories, and tragedies with many illustrations as Cassell's Illustrated Shakespeare. Englishman John Cassell (1817-1865) was a tea and coffee merchant who pivoted into publishing in 1848 with the weekly newspaper The Standard of Freedom and expanded to the Illustrated Family Paper in 1853. When Cassell was unexpectedly called to pay back an advancement to his paper supplier, he turned to printing firm partners George Petter (1823-1888) and Thomas Galpin (1828-1910) for financial support. The three men went into a full partnership in 1859 and found great success in publishing illustrated editions of classic literature, including the popular Illustrated Family Bible. 

It is from their illustration craze that The Plays of Shakespeare was born. Edited and annotated by Charles (1787-1877) and Mary Cowden Clark (1809-1898) and illustrated with wood engravings from drawings by H.C. Selous (1803-1890), the three-volume collection is brimming with detailed illustrations of the plays geared toward families and young readers. Volume Two contains Shakespeare’s historical plays.

Melina: What’s a clique?

Gwendis: It’s when a group of people hang out together.

Melina: Oh, you mean like having friends?

Fennorian: No, these people make fun of other people.
