This gold-tooled design comes from a unique binding attributed to Christian Samuel Kalthoeber, a German bookbinder working in London. He created the beautiful new cover for this copy of Shakespeare s First Folio around 1800. Originally published in 1623, Mr. William Shakespeare s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies (or, First Folio) is one of the most valuable books ever printed.
