Note 39 — SHAKSPERE GALLERY
Reading edition
This is a scene where Tieck saw both L. and S. There were two different paintings of the same subject, one with fewer figures, and Tieck rightly points out that the less crowded one is the better. One of the engravings is by W. Blake and is not given in any list of that artist's work. Mr. W. G. Robertson, the most recent biografer of Blake informs me in a letter that he does not know it.
