(ANVIL PRESS.) Shakespeare, William. The Tempest [Mr. Edward Capell's Edition of 1768]. Chiaroscuro woodcut portrait of Shakespeare by Gloria Thomas on title-page and a separate woodcut of the same, showing more detail in background, in a folded page, laid into volume. American Uncial type. 8vo, publisher's cloth-backed painted boards with printed paper spine label; bookmark on the handmade Magnani paper with the Anvil Press logo laid in. Lexington, KY, 1993
number 18 of only 75 copies printed on magnani paper with the magnani watermark. To meet the challenge of printing so long a text completely in American Uncial, all three existing castings of it were used, which included the Hammers' set, Nussbaumer's Chicago casting in 1943, and the later castings by Klingspor and Stempel.
