Barton, Thomas Pennant, 1803-1869, former owner, Rodd, Thomas, 1796-1849, bookseller · 1700 · [England] · 1 picture

A manuscript glossary of obsolete and difficult words in Shakespeare's plays, probably made in England around 1700, once owned by Thomas Pennant Barton and sold by the bookseller Thomas Rodd. The single picture is a bookplate: a heraldic shield bearing three boars' heads with a boar's head crest above and the motto 'Fide et Fortitudine' on a ribbon, engraved in a fine-line style a designer could adapt for crests, labels or monograms.

Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616
