    Red-Letter Shakespeare

    The most beautiful ever?

    The most beautiful ever?

    The Glasgow firm Blackie and Son enabled a dream collaboration of E. K. Chambers as editor and Talwin Morris as graphic desinger to create the Red-Letter series (1904-09). 

    Hathi-trust Library webpage with links to the first 25 volumes.  There  are 39 in all. 

    Red wrappers

    The most beautiful ever?

    The small volumes (16 x 9.5 cm) were bound in ivory cloth with black and red lettering and design inside and out. The tissue-paper covers were either tan or red. To find a full set in pristine condition, wrappers intact, is rare.  Library catalogues often assign volume numbers, but these appear to be spurious. 

    Talwin Morris

    Morris (1865-1911) was an adherent of the Glasgow School of Art Nouveau. He designed book series covers for Blackie and Son. He portrays himself in one of his own capitals (T). Blackie chose him to be the designer of the set.

    Graphics

    Art Nouveau Design, Glasgow School

    The somewhat otherworldly natural designs incorporating buds, blossoms, and vines reflected the Art Nouveau movement.  And the life-forces inherent in the graphics complement those at work in Shakespeare's living text.
