Prospectus to the series of 37 volumes issued by the LEC. Bookplate on front pastedown. Near fine.

Overall design of this classic in book design and illustration was in the hands of Bruce Rogers. Each of the 37 volumes of Plays is illustrated by a different illustrator. The impressive list includes Eric Gill, Arthur Rackham, Gordon Ross, Edy Legrand, John Austen, Robert Gibbings, Fritz Kredel, Barnett Freedman, Edward Bawden, Gordon Craig, Frank Brangwyn, Valenti Angelo, Edward Wilson, and Agnes Miller Parker. The text for this edition was edited by Herbert Farjeon who went back to the original appearances of the First Folio and Quarto Editions for punctuation and capitalization yet did correct obvious errors.
