Designed and made for the exhibition For All Time: The Shakespeare First Folio. This major exhibition celebrates the University of British Columbia Library’s recent acquisition of a first edition of William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Tragedies—an extremely rare book published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare’s death, and credited with preserving almost half of his plays.
In partnership with the Vancouver Art Gallery, this tangible piece of cultural heritage will be exhibited to the public along with three subsequent seventeenth-century Folio editions of Shakespeare’s plays, marking the first time all four Folios have been displayed in Vancouver.
