Features: In foreign countries, Shakespeare has various illustrations. The "Shakespeare Illustrated Album" published by Shandong Fine Arts Press is a reproduction based on a glass plate print. Hebei Education Press published "Shakespeare's Gallery" in a luxurious format in 1998, using a master copy borrowed from Mr. Yi Hong. "Shakespeare's Gallery" features portraits, sculptures, and the Globe Theatre of Shakespeare, as well as vivid characters from his plays. Their attire and accessories reflect their identities, and their expressions of joy or sorrow are vividly conveyed. When intertwined with scenes of clouds, trees, castles, and palaces, they create a rich atmosphere of a specific environment. This album is meticulously crafted in terms of plate-making, printing, paper selection, and binding, with each priced close to two thousand yuan, making it inaccessible to ordinary readers. Shandong Fine Arts Press published this album in a popular format, allowing readers to choose based on their interests and purchasing power. The text in the book is a handcrafted reproduction of notes written by Mr. Yi Hong in the editor's scrapbook back then, complementing the illustrations perfectly.
