Antique Shakespeare Engravings
A collection of mid-1850s Shakespeare engravings from Martin and Johnson of New York, aged with the character and charm of true vintage wall art.
Complimentary U.S. Shipping $100+ | International $350+
These beautiful engravings were published by Martin and Johnson in New York between 1855 and 1856, each capturing a scene from the world of Shakespeare.
Many show noticeable signs of age and condition wear, but that patina is part of their appeal. The foxing, toning, and softened paper give each print a warm, timeworn character that feels impossible to reproduce.
A thoughtful gift for Shakespeare lovers, antique print collectors, or anyone looking to add literary vintage artwork to a study, library, office, or gallery wall.
Dimensions: Approximately 8 1/4" x 10 3/4"
Condition: The Shakespeare engravings are in AS-IS condition. Most have visible discoloration and some have tears around the edges of the paper. Please look closely at the images to assess condition or feel free to email us for more photos.
