Description
Eric Ravilious's Twelfth Night features a stunning illustrative interpretation of Shakespeare's beloved comedy. This edition includes a newly commissioned introduction and a facsimile of one of the artist's finest illustrated works. Published in 1932 by the Golden Cockerel Press, this book is considered a masterpiece of typography and illustration. Ravilious's playful wooden engravings bring to life characters from the play in period costumes on imaginary stages or in garden scenes. Decorative borders and vignettes add to the enchantment of the pages. A fascinating story behind its publication reveals the resourcefulness and determination that brought this extraordinary version of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night to life, despite the challenges posed by the economic Depression.
