This is an impressive multi-volume limited edition set of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, presented in matching decorative leather-bound covers with gilt titles and ornamentation to the spines. The set includes Shakespeare’s full canon—histories, tragedies, comedies, and romances—with individual volumes dedicated to specific groups of plays, as shown in the contents pages. One volume is clearly marked as a limited edition, individually numbered, indicating a finite print run and enhanced collectibility.

The bindings feature rich maroon leather with gilt tooling and raised spine bands, designed for both durability and visual impact on a bookshelf or in a library setting. Internally, the pages appear clean and well-preserved with traditional typography and structured introductions preceding each work. This type of set was typically produced in the early to mid-20th century for collectors, scholars, and gift presentation, and remains highly desirable for decorative libraries, literary collectors, and Shakespeare enthusiasts.
