 PREFACE. 
 
 It is very difficult to meet with pictorial 
 illustrations of the Life of Shakespeare that 
 belong to even a small antiquity. With the ex- 
 ception of two or three found in periodicals, and 
 which are sufficiently common, any of the kind 
 which were executed more than seventy years 
 ago are of exceedingly rare occurrence. The 
 Bodleian Library, so rich in English topography, 
 has none ; while in that enormous literary ware- 
 house, the British Museum, there are hardly 
 any of the slightest interest. 
 
 There are, indeed, only two large and im- 
 portant collections of drawings and engravings 
 illustrative of Shakespearean biography. One 
 of these, that now preserved at the Birth-Place, 
 was formed by the late Mr. W. O. Hunt and 
 myself in years gone by, when we ransacked 
 Stratford-upon-Avon and its neighbourhood for 
 every relic of the kind. The other, that now 
 at Hollingbury Copse, is the result of purchases 
 from other localities. Each collection is, at 
 present, of unique interest, and is likely to 
 remain so. It is not probable that another, of 
 equal value to either, could now be formed. 
 
 But although this is not probable, there is 
 no telling what the accidents of discovery may 
 
 JO
 
 bring forth — in some forgotten portfolio, or in a 
 find revealed by the disturbance of interior 
 plasters. It is only about twelve years since 
 that I purchased from my old friend, Mr. Joseph 
 Lilly, the well-known bookseller of Garrick 
 Street, a volume the inclusion of which, in itself 
 alone, would have conferred a distinction on any 
 such collection as that now briefly calendared. 
 It was a copy of the first edition of Dugdale's 
 Antiquities of Warwickshire, 1656, which had 
 belonged to Richard Greene of Lichfield, a 
 person who was intimately connected with Strat- 
 ford-upon-Avon, and who had illustrated that 
 fine old work with original drawings made by 
 himself and others between the years 1760 and 
 1769. It was thus that I became possessed of 
 the inestimable earliest representation of the 
 Birth-Place known to exist, and of various 
 sketches executed during that period, all of 
 which are unique and most of extreme interest. 
 Amongst these and other noticeable articles 
 may be mentioned, — Nos. i to 6 and 570 to 
 577, Fisher's original drawings of the paintings 
 in the Guild Chapel, taken at the time of their 
 discovery in 1804, and valuable as being more 
 accurate than the engraved copies ; Nos. 7 to 
 II, the London Arches of Triumph, 1604; 
 Nos. 17, 18, 75, 150, 151, 155, 207, last century
 
 drawings and views of Stratford Church ; Nos. 
 28, 245, 545, Braun's plan of London, 1574 ; 
 No. 35, ColHer's rare plan of Windsor, 1742, 
 showing Heme's Oak ; No. 45, a view of 
 Charlecote, 1722 ; No. 65, Norden's original 
 plan of Middlesex, c. 1593 ; Nos. 67, 666, 
 1069 to 1 07 1, plans and drawings by John 
 Jordan, a Stratfordian who died in 1809 ; Nos. 
 193' 737) the earliest known engravings of 
 Shakespeare's Cliff near Dover, sketches by 
 Hollar, c. 1640; No. 195, the oldest view of 
 Heme's Oak ; No. 433, an early view of Charle- 
 cote ; No. 455, Winter's plan of Stratford, c. 
 1760; No. 506, a view of Stratford bridge, c. 
 1762 ; No. 563, a ground-plan of Stratford 
 College, temp. Hen. 8, a remarkably curious 
 relic preserved on the cover of a valuable early 
 manuscript of local collections purchased in 
 London at the sale of the Wheler library ; No. 
 652, a view of Stratford College taken in 1765 ; 
 and No. 979, the rare contemporary engraved 
 portrait of Shakespeare's friend, Lord .South- 
 ampton. The collection is peculiarly rich in en- 
 graved views of the Shakespearean localities, 
 especially in those of the Birth- Place and the 
 Church. 
 
 But the gem of my collection is the en- 
 graving of Shakespeare by Droeshout, 1623,
 
 8 
 
 in its original proof state before it was altered 
 by an inferior hand into the vitiated form in 
 which it has been so long fa7?ziliar to the public. 
 This is the earliest engraved portrait of the 
 great dramatist, and differs so materially from 
 the later impressions that it gives a new and 
 more pleasing idea of his features. Here we 
 have the most reliable likeness of Shakespeare 
 in existence, the only one which has not been 
 injuriously tampered with, while, at the same 
 time, the evidences of its genuineness and its 
 antiquity are incontestable. Although it is not 
 likely to be absolutely unique, it is certainly of 
 the most excessive rarity, being the only copy 
 that has yet been noticed. 
 
 The present collection is not the result of 
 a mere desire for accumulation. It has been 
 formed with the definite purpose of illustrating 
 the Life of Shakespeare by representations of 
 every morsel that could be found of his own 
 contemporary England, — that is to say, of every 
 object that he himself was likely to have seen. 
 Deeply impressed by the rapidity with which 
 these vestiges were disappearing, I engaged 
 Mr. J. T. Blight, F.S.A., a very accomplished 
 draughtsman, to make sketches in furtherance 
 of this design during the years from 1862 to 
 1 868. Not only was every corner of Stratford-
 
 upon-Avon and its neighbourhood explored, 
 but we followed as far as we could the routes 
 known to have been taken by the poet in his 
 various journeys, anxiously searching for re- 
 mains that could be positively assigned to his 
 own times, and carefully excluding those which 
 had passed through the hands of the modern 
 restorer. A considerable proportion of the 
 sketches then made are of objects that have 
 since been either modernized or destroyed. 
 
 A large work on the lines above indicated 
 could hardly fail to be welcome to the student, 
 but, as is so often the case, the time occupied 
 in gathering together the necessary artistic and 
 literary material has practically excluded the 
 collector himself from the opportunity of making 
 an effective use of his accumulations. As our 
 Brighton whip, in the old days of coaching, 
 used to say, — " tempus will fudgit," — and it 
 has fudgited with me until there is but a 
 little working slice of it left. That slice is 
 insufficient for the due execution of such 
 an undertaking. In a very few years, half a 
 century will have elapsed since my first work 
 on Shakespeare was published, and the termina- 
 tion of that period must also, if I survive, be 
 that of my student work. If the fate of the 
 Archbishop of Grenada is to be escaped, this
 
 lO 
 
 should be the resolve not merely of those who 
 have traversed the higher walks of literature, 
 but of the lesser votaries who, like myself, lay 
 claim to nothing beyond a capacity for research 
 and the ability of utilizing its products. 
 
 Little autobiographical reflections of this 
 kind might anyhow be excused in a privately- 
 printed brochure of very limited circulation, but 
 they are in fact given as the most effectual 
 method of advising a younger enthusiast that 
 he can, without lack of courtesy to the originator, 
 carry out an important design. When such a 
 one arises with the large means that will be 
 requisite to complete the work in a satisfactory 
 manner, the artistic materials catalogued in the 
 following pages cannot fail to prove of essential 
 
 service.
