Taking centre-stage in Rory’s extensive collection of signature silk scarves - this collection celebrates the 400th of the publication of William Shakespeare's 1623 First Folio. This design features references to the First Folio’s publication date, Shakespeare’s birth and death years, and recurring motifs in the plays, including a rose, crown, dagger, skull, and quill pen. Published seven years after Shakespeare’s death, the First Folio includes 36 of his plays, thanks to the hard work and dedication of two of his friends and fellow actors, John Heminge and Henry Condell, who gathered the plays together. If they had not committed to collecting the work for the book, modern day experts on Shakespeare’s life and work have stated that half of all of his plays (including Macbeth, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, The Tempest, and Antony and Cleopatra) would have been lost forever. 35x35cm 100% silk Made in Italy Rolled edges Sale items will be sent wrapped in tissue paper
