Notes (Hamnet):
History: Burney contributed 7 designs to Bell's edition of Shakespeare, all of which follow the same format as the 3 designs noted here. The scenes in Bell illustrated by Burney are from Two gentlemen of Verona, Taming of the shrew, All's well, King John, Henry IV, pt. 2, King Lear, and Cymbeline. Original designs for King John, King Lear, and Cymbeline are housed in the Turner extra illustrated Shakespeare at the Huntington Library. A reproduction of the King John design included in R.R. Wark's catalog of the Turner Shakespeare shows its similarity to the 3 Folger drawings. A pencil note at the bottom right corner of the backing to which the Folger Burney drawings have been glued claims them to have been engraved, though they are not included in Bell's Shakespeare. Cataloger has been unable to locate engravings after these designs elsewhere.

Notes (Hamnet):
Illustrations are executed in tondos, 3" in diameter, which are centered in rectangles with ornamental motifs above the tondos and space for the Shakespeare play to be noted beneath. The notes identifying the plays, however, have been written not in this space but below the rectangular design. Items are labeled with play, title, act and scene division and quotation from the text. One of the drawings is initialed "E.F.B.," the other two are signed "E.F. Burney."
