Shakspere och hans tid

Schück, Henrik, 1855-1947 · 1616 · Stockholm : H. Geber · 43 pictures

Shakspere och hans tid is a Swedish-language study of Shakespeare and his era by Henrik Schück, published in Stockholm by H. Geber, with the year listed as 1616 in the catalogue record, which is the year of Shakespeare's death and so likely misdated. The pictures are reproduced engravings of Elizabethan London, showing the Globe-area riverside, a round tower with gabled houses behind it, and a bird's-eye city map drawn along the Thames. A designer could draw on their crisp hatched line work for period townscapes, riverfront views, and early map cartography.

Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616
