NEW Online Resource: The Romantic Illustration Network Shakespeare Gallery
https://romanticillustrationnetwork.wordpress.com/shakespeare-gallery/
Ready for 2016 anniversary of Shakespeare's birth, the Romantic Illustration Network is delighted to announce its digitisation of prints from Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, courtesy of negatives provided by Professor Frederick Burwick (UCLA).
The Boydell Shakespeare Gallery was open to the public on London's Pall Mall from 1789 to 1805. Featuring paintings of scenes from Shakespeare by major artists of the day, including Fuseli, Reynolds, and Kauffmann, the gallery was a popular if not a financial success.
Prints of the paintings were published in volumes (as well as in an illustrated edition of Shakespeare), and are now digitised here by the University of Roehampton for use under a Creative Commons license. Images are arranged alphabetically by play, and new plays will be added over the coming months, so do keep checking back on the site. We have also digitised the front matter from the volumes.
Click on the thumbnails to access larger versions of the images, and to view the full-sized image. Once you have clicked on a thumbnail there is space to add comments on each image, and we very much encourage you to do so.
If you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions, please do let us know.
Best wishes,
Mary L. Shannon
