89. SHAKESPEARE, William. The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark. As it is now Acted at his Highness the Duke of York's Theatre. London: Printed for H. Heringman and R. Bentley, 1683.

[ 4, blank], [iv], 88, [4, blank] pp. Eighth quarto edition and the last Restoration edition to be performed at the Duke's Theatre (James, Duke of York, later James II). An exceptionally large copy in the original marbled wrappers. This copy is larger than any copy reported in the major bibliographies, and also exceeds the size of the largest Hamlet quarto at the Folger Shakespeare Library. According to the Folger, marbled wrappers of this type were common first bindings on a set of quartos purchased by an acting company for the production of the play. It is suggested that the binder ran short of the red-brown marbled paper with which he began this binding, and had to add a piece of complementary blue marbled paper to finish the back wrapper. Title inscribed on the front wrapper in ink; dampstain to front wrapper. Bookplate of Donald & Mary Hyde on front pastedown of a brown cloth chemise, lettered in gilt, by Riviere. A totally original, unsophisticated, untouched and unrestored example of this very rare edition of Shakespeare's single most important play. HBS 65241. $125,000
