The First Folio Frontispiece. In Context and Perspective Part 1

Please note that a fully illustrated pdf of this video can be found at drive.google.c...
So it's 400 years since the First Folio was published, time for a fresh analysis of the frontispiece. In Part 1 we look at the context of the publication of the First Folio and compare the frontispiece to other contemporary publications. In addition we take a look at the evidence of who engraved the image of Shakespeare. Fascinating history that you will almost certainly not know about.
