As my own small contribution to the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of the printing of the first folio of Shakespeare’s plays in this third and final episode of a short mini-series I look at the printing and selling of the First Folio and the afterlife of some of the copies as they travelled the globe. This includes some history on the greatest collector of First Folios and the creation of the Folger Library.
