Shakespeare Weekend

This weekend we enjoy Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, Twelfth Night the thirty-fifth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. The original full title of the play is Twelfth Night, Or What You Will, and it was written between 1600 and 1601 with its first performance noted in 1602 at the Middle Temple in London. Twelfth Night was not published until 1623 with its inclusion in the First Folio.

Italian artist Francesco Carnevali (1892-1987) illustrated the LEC’s edition with colorfully detailed watercolors. Carnevali was a professor at the Academy of the Book in Urbino, Italy and was serendipitously already working on illustrations for Twelfth Night when the LEC wrote to him asking if he’d like to collaborate on their Shakespeare publications. The resulting watercolors are unique in their angled perspective providing readers with an elaborate view of the action as if they were sitting in balcony theater seats and transporting them into the ambiance of a seaside town.

Laid in with our holding is a program from the Spring 1941 performance of Twelfth Night performed at Milwaukee’s historic Pabst Theatre. The performance starred Helen Hayes as Viola, Maurice Evans as Malvolio, and was presented by The Society of Allied Arts.

The volume was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish. Each of the LEC volumes of Shakespeare’s works are illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Helen Hayes and Philip Merivale, still in costume (maybe between a matinee and an evening performance?), playing ping-pong backstage during the run of Mary of Scotland by Maxwell Anderson, 1934. Hayes played Mary, Queen of Scots and Merivale played Bothwell.

Verdura (Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura and Marquis of Murata la Cerda) for Chanel, Maltese Cross Cuff Bracelet, ca. 1930s, enamel set with amethyst, emerald, sapphire, diamond and rubies

Verdura and Coco Chanel examining one of the Maltese Cross cuffs; Coco Chanel wearing her own pair.

The Maltese Cross Cuff is probably the most iconic piece of jewelry designed by Verdura for Chanel, and is still a cornerstone today of both Verdura and Chanel offerings. The particular cuff at top was bought in the 1930s for legendary EGOT actress Helen Hayes by her husband. It was offered at auction for the first time ever by Bonhams in 2023. Estimated at $150-225K, it achieved $432,300 including premium.
