SHAKESPEARE'S
TEMPEST

WALTER CRANE

See handwritten text Mr Dallas's reproductions of my pen drawings for this work appear to me to be very faithful & successful in preserving the touch & general character of the originals.
I have to certify that I have printed 650 copies of each of these eight subjects designed by Walter Crane, and engraved in Dallastype Facsimile by myself.
Six Hundred Copies are for sale, viz.:—400 for the United Kingdom and 200 for America.
This Copy is No. 417, and I certify that since printing the above number the Plates have been destroyed.
