Below, I have hand-selected fifteen images from six different editions of <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em>. One of the great things about this collection is how many illustrated renditions there are of each play. For this blog, I chose to feature <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em> because it\u2019s a story with which everyone is familiar and there are a few different artistic styles captured within the works. I hope you enjoy as you peruse some images from our collection, and if there is another Shakespearian work from which you would like to see illustrations, please make an appointment to visit our
