Picture of the Week #846

Elizabethan Gardens at Kenilworth Castle. Photo May 2015.

This isn’t all that different from at least one other Picture of the Week, but I took A LOT of photos of the gardens, so there will be a few kind of similar ones as I continue to work my way through all of these pictures. (I can’t believe it’s been nearly 10 years since that visit!)

Picture of the Week #845

“Romeo and Juliet” in the First Folio. Photo May 2015.

This First Folio is on display at the museum next to the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. I figured this would be a good one for the start of February – one of the world’s most famous love stories for the month with Valentine’s Day.

Picture of the Week #834

Engraved portrait of Elizabeth I from “Pacata Hibernia”. Photo April 2016.

Since today is the 466th anniversary of the death of Mary I and therefore also the anniversary of Elizabeth I becoming Queen, I thought I would dig out another image from the Shakespeare in Print and Performance exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center at my university. One of these days I’ll finish editing all of my images from the exhibit and do a full write-up of it (only 8+ years too late…)
