Sobre este item
New York & London: Harper & Brothers, ( 1939 ). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Good. Octavo; 28, 64 pages, tan cloth. cover soiled
This volume is a facsimile new edition of the edition of JULIUS CAESAR prepared by student and teacher, Welles and Hill, when Orson Welles was a precocious student at the Todd School, at Woodstock, Illinois. Not many years later, a new Broadway production by Welles stunned New Yorkers in 1937, his magical year. That provoked this new edition, which includes, "On Staging Shakespeare and On Shakespeare's Stage", a chapter originally written by college-aged Orson Welles, but here identified as the Director of the Mercury Theater. Illustrated with sketches (apparently drawn by Welles). Includes his whimsically serious "Biography of William Shakespeare (No. 1,000,999)".. Hill out-lived his student by 5 years. They had a life-long friendship, as reported in a recent book.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
