'''Introduction'''<br />
<br />
The Folger is an extraordinary building, an American monument to another country’s national hero in the heart of Capitol Hill. Its modernized classical exterior and English Renaissance interior (the contrasting styles are lovingly referred to as “Tudor-deco”) earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. This designation was expanded in 2018 to include the original interior of the building. As soon as it was built, the Folger became a prototype for a wide range of public buildings and monuments across America that maintained a classical spirit while simplifying, modernizing, and abstracting many of classical architecture’s most distinctive features. <br />
<br />
Home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare-related books, manuscripts, art, and artifacts, the building was a collaboration between Paul Cret, a French émigré trained in the Beaux-Arts style, and Henry and Emily Folger, a New York couple who shared a lifelong passion for Shakespeare and collecting. By locating their monument to Shakespeare and his age at the heart of civic life, the Folgers and Cret made a bold statement in marble and wood: that the wisdom of literature and history are indispensable to the life of a democracy. A Monument to Shakespeare: The Architecture of the Folger Shakespeare Library tells the story of how their combined vision and attention to detail resulted in a building that Emily Folger later described as “The First Folio, Illustrated.” <br />

<br />
'''Before the Folger: a very brief history'''<br />
<br />
For over ten thousand years, Capitol Hill and the nearby riverbanks of the Anacostia and Potomac were the hunting, farming, fishing, gathering, and trading grounds for the prosperous Nacotchtanks, an Algonquin-speaking community who had long enjoyed the bounty of the region’s tidewater and forests. The Folger’s site, located on a flat crest on top of what is today Capitol Hill, may have been a central farming location where the Nacotchtanks harvested corn, beans, and squash. Captain John Smith, who visited a Nacotchtank trading center located on the east banks of the Anacostia River in 1608, recorded a population of 300 people, although the number of people may have been much higher. By the mid-seventeenth century, epidemic diseases brought by European traders claimed a staggering number of Nacotchtank lives. Survivors sought refuge with neighboring communities or kin.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A Close Call: A crucial assist from the Librarian of Congress'''<br />
<br />
Shortly after the Folgers acquired Grant’s Row (the northern half of square 760 on the real estate plat-book map), they learned that the United States Congress planned to locate an annex to the Library of Congress on the same site. Mr. Folger sent a concerned letter to Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam on January 19, 1928, expressing his desire to “help make the United States a center for literary study and progress.” Putnam immediately replied, “[y]our letter of yesterday opens a prospect more thrilling (I am frank to say) not merely for the National Capital, but for the cultural interests of this country, than anything that has happened for Washington since the establishment of the Freer Gallery.” <br />
<br />
Putnam successfully petitioned the House Committee on the Library to alter its plans and exclude the land that the Folgers had purchased, arguing that the Folger project “would add to the prestige of the Library [of Congress] itself, and of course, the national capital.” H.R. 9355, a bill to acquire land for an additional Library of Congress building, was amended in March 1928 to exclude Grant’s Row. The bill passed into law two months later. <br />
<br />
The Folgers could now find an architect and begin planning their monument. By the end of 1929, Grant’s Row was razed and construction was ready to begin. Architect Paul Cret suggested to Henry Folger that they salvage some of the bricks from the houses as “backing for the marble exterior,” which was to be made from white Georgia marble.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Building the team: Paul Cret (1876-1945) and Alexander Trowbridge (1868-1950)'''<br />
<br />
Paul Philippe Cret was one of America’s most influential architects of the twentieth century. Born in France, he received his degree from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1902, and then moved to the United States to join the faculty of the School of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. Soon after completing his first major commission, the Pan American Union Building on 17th St. NW (now called the Organization of American States), he enlisted in the French army and served in World War I. Upon his return to Penn in 1919, his style of “stripped classicism,” sometimes referred to as “new classicism” or “modernized classicism,” began to define him: flattened columns and bas reliefs, with simplified and abstracted features. <br />
<br />
Cret was already a prominent architect when the Folgers decided to hire him. In making this choice, they followed the recommendation of their consulting architect, Alexander Trowbridge, who, like Cret, had trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Cret’s influence on DC architecture is profound: in addition to the Organization of American States building, other Cret projects in Washington, DC, include the Duke Ellington Bridge, the Federal Reserve Building, and the tower of the Bethesda Naval Medical Center.<br />
<br />
In late 1928 and throughout 1929, the Folgers were in constant communication with Cret and Trowbridge. Trowbridge, who had already enjoyed a long career as a practicing architect, served as an advisor and liaison between the Folgers and Cret. In the letters reproduced here, the Folgers’s ideas come into focus after they viewed the first preliminary drawings. Mr. Folger writes that they envisioned “their enterprise as first of all a Library, not a Museum.” For the Folgers, the books and manuscripts that preserved and contextualized Shakespeare’s works would be the greatest picture of the man and his creations, not the collection of paintings they had assembled. They were also concerned that the preliminary sketches took the concept of “Memorial” too literary, and that the front of the building looked “a little too somber.” For them, the building should be a “testimonial.” To that end, the inscriptions and sculpture program would be critical to the building’s success as a civic enterprise, and this influenced the shape of the project.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Getting the façade right'''<br />
<br />
Paul Cret and the Folgers had to work through the complex nature of the Folger project, reconciling the differences between a civic memorial, a cultural institution, and a specialized research library. Even the basic question of what name to carve on the front of the building forced the Folgers to reconsider the purpose of their collection and the audiences it would attract. At different points in the process, Cret provided renderings with “Folger Shakespeare Memorial” and “Folger Library Foundation,” but the Folgers settled on “Folger Shakespeare Library.” Shakespeare became the institution’s middle name, centered and enlarged in the carved text just below the bas reliefs. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''A building for the 20th century: air conditioning, automobiles, and asbestos''' <br />
<br />
The Folgers wanted the Folger Shakespeare Library to be a thoroughly modern building. However, they were not familiar with all of the latest technologies. When the possibility of including air conditioning was raised during design discussions, Henry Folger asked architect Alexander Trowbridge, “what is meant by the expression ‘Air conditioning’?” After learning more about “this apparatus,” he expressed surprise “that anyone would undertake, in a building of that size, in Washington, to secure a temperature of 85 degrees in the Summer with a 50% humidity.” Henry Folger ultimately recommended that air conditioning be installed only in the book vaults, and that the library itself close to researchers during the hottest weeks of the summer. <br />
<br />
Noting that automobiles and street cars traveled down East Capitol Street, right in front of the Folger and other “institutions in the Nation’s capital,” the Folgers decided that the sculpture program–typically located above the horizontal pediment sitting atop the columns in a classical building–should instead be placed below the columns so that passengers could admire them from their cars. <br />
<br />
Another innovative possibility was asbestos, a highly regarded fireproof substance that one vendor said could be shaped into panels resembling the wood of historic interiors. Mr. Folger ultimately decided to use Appalachian oak instead.</div>EmilySneddenYateshttps://folgerpedia.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=A_Monument_to_Shakespeare:_The_Architecture_of_the_Folger_Shakespeare_Library&diff=34437A Monument to Shakespeare: The Architecture of the Folger Shakespeare Library2020-10-09T13:41:23Z<p>EmilySneddenYates: /* A Monument to Shakespeare */</p>

'''Introduction'''<br />
<br />
The Folger is an extraordinary building, an American monument to another country’s national hero in the heart of Capitol Hill. Its modernized classical exterior and English Renaissance interior (the contrasting styles are lovingly referred to as “Tudor-deco”) earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. This designation was expanded in 2018 to include the original interior of the building. As soon as it was built, the Folger became a prototype for a wide range of public buildings and monuments across America that maintained a classical spirit while simplifying, modernizing, and abstracting many of classical architecture’s most distinctive features. <br />
<br />
Home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare-related books, manuscripts, art, and artifacts, the building was a collaboration between Paul Cret, a French émigré trained in the Beaux-Arts style, and Henry and Emily Folger, a New York couple who shared a lifelong passion for Shakespeare and collecting. By locating their monument to Shakespeare and his age at the heart of civic life, the Folgers and Cret made a bold statement in marble and wood: that the wisdom of literature and history are indispensable to the life of a democracy. A Monument to Shakespeare: The Architecture of the Folger Shakespeare Library tells the story of how their combined vision and attention to detail resulted in a building that Emily Folger later described as “The First Folio, Illustrated.” <br />

<br />
'''Before the Folger: a very brief history'''<br />
<br />
For over ten thousand years, Capitol Hill and the nearby riverbanks of the Anacostia and Potomac were the hunting, farming, fishing, gathering, and trading grounds for the prosperous Nacotchtanks, an Algonquin-speaking community who had long enjoyed the bounty of the region’s tidewater and forests. The Folger’s site, located on a flat crest on top of what is today Capitol Hill, may have been a central farming location where the Nacotchtanks harvested corn, beans, and squash. Captain John Smith, who visited a Nacotchtank trading center located on the east banks of the Anacostia River in 1608, recorded a population of 300 people, although the number of people may have been much higher. By the mid-seventeenth century, epidemic diseases brought by European traders claimed a staggering number of Nacotchtank lives. Survivors sought refuge with neighboring communities or kin.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A Close Call: A crucial assist from the Librarian of Congress'''<br />
<br />
Shortly after the Folgers acquired Grant’s Row (the northern half of square 760 on the real estate plat-book map), they learned that the United States Congress planned to locate an annex to the Library of Congress on the same site. Mr. Folger sent a concerned letter to Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam on January 19, 1928, expressing his desire to “help make the United States a center for literary study and progress.” Putnam immediately replied, “[y]our letter of yesterday opens a prospect more thrilling (I am frank to say) not merely for the National Capital, but for the cultural interests of this country, than anything that has happened for Washington since the establishment of the Freer Gallery.” <br />
<br />
Putnam successfully petitioned the House Committee on the Library to alter its plans and exclude the land that the Folgers had purchased, arguing that the Folger project “would add to the prestige of the Library [of Congress] itself, and of course, the national capital.” H.R. 9355, a bill to acquire land for an additional Library of Congress building, was amended in March 1928 to exclude Grant’s Row. The bill passed into law two months later. <br />
<br />
The Folgers could now find an architect and begin planning their monument. By the end of 1929, Grant’s Row was razed and construction was ready to begin. Architect Paul Cret suggested to Henry Folger that they salvage some of the bricks from the houses as “backing for the marble exterior,” which was to be made from white Georgia marble.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Building the team: Paul Cret (1876-1945) and Alexander Trowbridge (1868-1950)'''<br />
<br />
Paul Philippe Cret was one of America’s most influential architects of the twentieth century. Born in France, he received his degree from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1902, and then moved to the United States to join the faculty of the School of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. Soon after completing his first major commission, the Pan American Union Building on 17th St. NW (now called the Organization of American States), he enlisted in the French army and served in World War I. Upon his return to Penn in 1919, his style of “stripped classicism,” sometimes referred to as “new classicism” or “modernized classicism,” began to define him: flattened columns and bas reliefs, with simplified and abstracted features. <br />
<br />
Cret was already a prominent architect when the Folgers decided to hire him. In making this choice, they followed the recommendation of their consulting architect, Alexander Trowbridge, who, like Cret, had trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Cret’s influence on DC architecture is profound: in addition to the Organization of American States building, other Cret projects in Washington, DC, include the Duke Ellington Bridge, the Federal Reserve Building, and the tower of the Bethesda Naval Medical Center.<br />
<br />
In late 1928 and throughout 1929, the Folgers were in constant communication with Cret and Trowbridge. Trowbridge, who had already enjoyed a long career as a practicing architect, served as an advisor and liaison between the Folgers and Cret. In the letters reproduced here, the Folgers’s ideas come into focus after they viewed the first preliminary drawings. Mr. Folger writes that they envisioned “their enterprise as first of all a Library, not a Museum.” For the Folgers, the books and manuscripts that preserved and contextualized Shakespeare’s works would be the greatest picture of the man and his creations, not the collection of paintings they had assembled. They were also concerned that the preliminary sketches took the concept of “Memorial” too literary, and that the front of the building looked “a little too somber.” For them, the building should be a “testimonial.” To that end, the inscriptions and sculpture program would be critical to the building’s success as a civic enterprise, and this influenced the shape of the project.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Getting the façade right'''<br />
<br />
Paul Cret and the Folgers had to work through the complex nature of the Folger project, reconciling the differences between a civic memorial, a cultural institution, and a specialized research library. Even the basic question of what name to carve on the front of the building forced the Folgers to reconsider the purpose of their collection and the audiences it would attract. At different points in the process, Cret provided renderings with “Folger Shakespeare Memorial” and “Folger Library Foundation,” but the Folgers settled on “Folger Shakespeare Library.” Shakespeare became the institution’s middle name, centered and enlarged in the carved text just below the bas reliefs. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''A building for the 20th century: air conditioning, automobiles, and asbestos''' <br />
<br />
The Folgers wanted the Folger Shakespeare Library to be a thoroughly modern building. However, they were not familiar with all of the latest technologies. When the possibility of including air conditioning was raised during design discussions, Henry Folger asked architect Alexander Trowbridge, “what is meant by the expression ‘Air conditioning’?” After learning more about “this apparatus,” he expressed surprise “that anyone would undertake, in a building of that size, in Washington, to secure a temperature of 85 degrees in the Summer with a 50% humidity.” Henry Folger ultimately recommended that air conditioning be installed only in the book vaults, and that the library itself close to researchers during the hottest weeks of the summer. <br />
<br />
Noting that automobiles and street cars traveled down East Capitol Street, right in front of the Folger and other “institutions in the Nation’s capital,” the Folgers decided that the sculpture program–typically located above the horizontal pediment sitting atop the columns in a classical building–should instead be placed below the columns so that passengers could admire them from their cars. <br />
<br />
Another innovative possibility was asbestos, a highly regarded fireproof substance that one vendor said could be shaped into panels resembling the wood of historic interiors. Mr. Folger ultimately decided to use Appalachian oak instead.</div>EmilySneddenYateshttps://folgerpedia.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=A_Monument_to_Shakespeare:_The_Architecture_of_the_Folger_Shakespeare_Library&diff=34435A Monument to Shakespeare: The Architecture of the Folger Shakespeare Library2020-10-09T13:35:51Z<p>EmilySneddenYates: /* I shower a welcome on ye; welcome all.

'''Introduction'''<br />
<br />
The Folger is an extraordinary building, an American monument to another country’s national hero in the heart of Capitol Hill. Its modernized classical exterior and English Renaissance interior (the contrasting styles are lovingly referred to as “Tudor-deco”) earned it a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. This designation was expanded in 2018 to include the original interior of the building. As soon as it was built, the Folger became a prototype for a wide range of public buildings and monuments across America that maintained a classical spirit while simplifying, modernizing, and abstracting many of classical architecture’s most distinctive features. <br />
<br />
Home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare-related books, manuscripts, art, and artifacts, the building was a collaboration between Paul Cret, a French émigré trained in the Beaux-Arts style, and Henry and Emily Folger, a New York couple who shared a lifelong passion for Shakespeare and collecting. By locating their monument to Shakespeare and his age at the heart of civic life, the Folgers and Cret made a bold statement in marble and wood: that the wisdom of literature and history are indispensable to the life of a democracy. A Monument to Shakespeare: The Architecture of the Folger Shakespeare Library tells the story of how their combined vision and attention to detail resulted in a building that Emily Folger later described as “The First Folio, Illustrated.” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A Monumental Timeline'''<br />
<br />
1879 <br />
As an undergraduate at Amherst College, Henry Clay Folger (1857-1930) attends a lecture by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Inspired by Emerson’s writings, including his discovery of an 1864 speech on Shakespeare, Folger becomes a collector of Shakespeareana.<br />
<br />

<br />
1896 <br />
Emily Folger earns a master’s degree from Vassar College. Her thesis is titled “The True Text of Shakespeare.”<br />
<br />
1911<br />
Henry Folger becomes president of Standard Oil Company of New York (later Mobil Oil).<br />
<br />
1914 <br />
Amherst College awards Henry Folger an honorary doctorate in recognition of the Folgers’ growing Shakespeare collection.<br />
<br />
1923<br />
Henry Folger becomes chairman of the board of Standard Oil Company of New York.<br />
<br />
1919-27 <br />
Henry Folger quietly purchases 14 houses known as Grant’s Row in the 200 block of East Capitol Street, to be the future site of the library, after ruling out other locations in the US and Great Britain.<br />
<br />
1928 <br />
January: The Folgers learn of the Library of Congress’s plan to build an annex on the site that includes Grant’s Row. After learning of the Folgers’ plan, the Librarian of Congress and the Chairman of the House Committee on the Library of Congress enthusiastically lobby to exclude Grant’s Row from the bill to build the annex. <br />
<br />
March: Henry Folger retires from his position as chairman of the board of Standard Oil of New York to devote himself full-time to plans for the Folger Shakespeare Library. <br />
<br />
May: A bill to acquire squares 760 and 761 to build a Library of Congress annex (amended to exclude the northern half of square 760, which had been ceded to Henry Folger) passes the House, the Senate, and is signed by the President. The annex, now known as the John Adams Building, opened in 1939. <br />
<br />
September: Alexander Trowbridge is brought onto the project as consulting architect. <br />
<br />

<br />
1932 <br />

<br />
Emily Folger receives an honorary doctorate from Amherst College in acknowledgment of her efforts to complete the Folger Shakespeare Library.<br />
<br />
1948<br />
An American Institute of Architecture journal poll asked 500 member-architects to name their “most thrilling building.” The top four buildings are the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Lincoln Memorial, Radio City Center, and the Nebraska State Capitol.<br />
<br />
1969<br />
The exterior of the original 1932 building is added to the National Register of Historic Places.<br />
<br />
2018<br />
The interior of the original 1932 building is also added to the National Register of Historic Places. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Before the Folger: a very brief history'''<br />
<br />
For over ten thousand years, Capitol Hill and the nearby riverbanks of the Anacostia and Potomac were the hunting, farming, fishing, gathering, and trading grounds for the prosperous Nacotchtanks, an Algonquin-speaking community who had long enjoyed the bounty of the region’s tidewater and forests. The Folger’s site, located on a flat crest on top of what is today Capitol Hill, may have been a central farming location where the Nacotchtanks harvested corn, beans, and squash. Captain John Smith, who visited a Nacotchtank trading center located on the east banks of the Anacostia River in 1608, recorded a population of 300 people, although the number of people may have been much higher. By the mid-seventeenth century, epidemic diseases brought by European traders claimed a staggering number of Nacotchtank lives. Survivors sought refuge with neighboring communities or kin.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A Close Call: A crucial assist from the Librarian of Congress'''<br />
<br />
Shortly after the Folgers acquired Grant’s Row (the northern half of square 760 on the real estate plat-book map), they learned that the United States Congress planned to locate an annex to the Library of Congress on the same site. Mr. Folger sent a concerned letter to Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam on January 19, 1928, expressing his desire to “help make the United States a center for literary study and progress.” Putnam immediately replied, “[y]our letter of yesterday opens a prospect more thrilling (I am frank to say) not merely for the National Capital, but for the cultural interests of this country, than anything that has happened for Washington since the establishment of the Freer Gallery.” <br />
<br />
Putnam successfully petitioned the House Committee on the Library to alter its plans and exclude the land that the Folgers had purchased, arguing that the Folger project “would add to the prestige of the Library [of Congress] itself, and of course, the national capital.” H.R. 9355, a bill to acquire land for an additional Library of Congress building, was amended in March 1928 to exclude Grant’s Row. The bill passed into law two months later. <br />
<br />
The Folgers could now find an architect and begin planning their monument. By the end of 1929, Grant’s Row was razed and construction was ready to begin. Architect Paul Cret suggested to Henry Folger that they salvage some of the bricks from the houses as “backing for the marble exterior,” which was to be made from white Georgia marble.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Building the team: Paul Cret (1876-1945) and Alexander Trowbridge (1868-1950)'''<br />
<br />
Paul Philippe Cret was one of America’s most influential architects of the twentieth century. Born in France, he received his degree from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1902, and then moved to the United States to join the faculty of the School of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. Soon after completing his first major commission, the Pan American Union Building on 17th St. NW (now called the Organization of American States), he enlisted in the French army and served in World War I. Upon his return to Penn in 1919, his style of “stripped classicism,” sometimes referred to as “new classicism” or “modernized classicism,” began to define him: flattened columns and bas reliefs, with simplified and abstracted features. <br />
<br />
Cret was already a prominent architect when the Folgers decided to hire him. In making this choice, they followed the recommendation of their consulting architect, Alexander Trowbridge, who, like Cret, had trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Cret’s influence on DC architecture is profound: in addition to the Organization of American States building, other Cret projects in Washington, DC, include the Duke Ellington Bridge, the Federal Reserve Building, and the tower of the Bethesda Naval Medical Center.<br />
<br />
In late 1928 and throughout 1929, the Folgers were in constant communication with Cret and Trowbridge. Trowbridge, who had already enjoyed a long career as a practicing architect, served as an advisor and liaison between the Folgers and Cret. In the letters reproduced here, the Folgers’s ideas come into focus after they viewed the first preliminary drawings. Mr. Folger writes that they envisioned “their enterprise as first of all a Library, not a Museum.” For the Folgers, the books and manuscripts that preserved and contextualized Shakespeare’s works would be the greatest picture of the man and his creations, not the collection of paintings they had assembled. They were also concerned that the preliminary sketches took the concept of “Memorial” too literary, and that the front of the building looked “a little too somber.” For them, the building should be a “testimonial.” To that end, the inscriptions and sculpture program would be critical to the building’s success as a civic enterprise, and this influenced the shape of the project.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Getting the façade right'''<br />
<br />
Paul Cret and the Folgers had to work through the complex nature of the Folger project, reconciling the differences between a civic memorial, a cultural institution, and a specialized research library. Even the basic question of what name to carve on the front of the building forced the Folgers to reconsider the purpose of their collection and the audiences it would attract. At different points in the process, Cret provided renderings with “Folger Shakespeare Memorial” and “Folger Library Foundation,” but the Folgers settled on “Folger Shakespeare Library.” Shakespeare became the institution’s middle name, centered and enlarged in the carved text just below the bas reliefs. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''A building for the 20th century: air conditioning, automobiles, and asbestos''' <br />
<br />
The Folgers wanted the Folger Shakespeare Library to be a thoroughly modern building. However, they were not familiar with all of the latest technologies. When the possibility of including air conditioning was raised during design discussions, Henry Folger asked architect Alexander Trowbridge, “what is meant by the expression ‘Air conditioning’?” After learning more about “this apparatus,” he expressed surprise “that anyone would undertake, in a building of that size, in Washington, to secure a temperature of 85 degrees in the Summer with a 50% humidity.” Henry Folger ultimately recommended that air conditioning be installed only in the book vaults, and that the library itself close to researchers during the hottest weeks of the summer. <br />
<br />
Noting that automobiles and street cars traveled down East Capitol Street, right in front of the Folger and other “institutions in the Nation’s capital,” the Folgers decided that the sculpture program–typically located above the horizontal pediment sitting atop the columns in a classical building–should instead be placed below the columns so that passengers could admire them from their cars. <br />
<br />
Another innovative possibility was asbestos, a highly regarded fireproof substance that one vendor said could be shaped into panels resembling the wood of historic interiors. Mr. Folger ultimately decided to use Appalachian oak instead.</div>EmilySneddenYateshttps://folgerpedia.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=Exhibitions_at_the_Folger&diff=34433Exhibitions at the Folger2020-10-08T19:29:17Z<p>EmilySneddenYates: /* 2010s */</p>

== The James L. Harner Collection of Miniature Books Pertaining to Shakespeare ==<br />
<br />
<br />
You don’t have to read these books to understand what makes them special. Their size delights the viewer and demonstrates skilled printing, binding, and artist’s work. The smallest item is a 14-millimeter printing of Act IV, Scene 1 from The Merchant of Venice. The tallest set—twelve volumes of an 1888 edition of Shakespeare’s Works—is housed in a carved, glass-fronted wood cabinet.<br />
<br />
Harner’s collection comprises books crafted by individual artists or art collectives in limited editions as well as mass-printed books sold commercially with accompanying bookcases and boxes. Many items in the Harner collection are unique or known in only a few copies.<br />
<br />
This exhibition is on display in the Founders' Room, which is accessible only by docent tour. These free tours do not require advance registration and are offered Monday through Saturday at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and on Sunday at noon and 3pm.<br />

Melissa Cook served as the Acquisitions Librarian at the Folger Shakespeare Library 1994 - 2019. As Head of Acquisitions, she was the main contact for gift offers of books, art, and manuscripts. While at the Folger, Cook enjoyed meeting with donors and learning about their collections. Though she kept her personal collection to less than ten books, it was supplemented by buying books for other people and visiting the excellent public library near her home.<br />
<br />
Cook managed the Folger's annual Acquisitions Night. Participants are encouraged to explore new additions to the Folger collection and may have the opportunity to adopt materials for their preservation and conservation.<br />

== The James L. Harner Collection of Miniature Books Pertaining to Shakespeare ==<br />
<br />
<br />
You don’t have to read these books to understand what makes them special. Their size delights the viewer and demonstrates skilled printing, binding, and artist’s work. The smallest item is a 14-millimeter printing of Act IV, Scene 1 from The Merchant of Venice. The tallest set—twelve volumes of an 1888 edition of Shakespeare’s Works—is housed in a carved, glass-fronted wood cabinet.<br />
<br />
Harner’s collection comprises books crafted by individual artists or art collectives in limited editions as well as mass-printed books sold commercially with accompanying bookcases and boxes. Many items in the Harner collection are unique or known in only a few copies.<br />
<br />
This exhibition is on display in the Founders' Room, which is accessible only by docent tour. These free tours do not require advance registration and are offered Monday through Saturday at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and on Sunday at noon and 3pm.<br />

== The James L. Harner Collection of Miniature Books Pertaining to Shakespeare ==<br />
<br />
<br />
You don’t have to read these books to understand what makes them special. Their size delights the viewer and demonstrates skilled printing, binding, and artist’s work. The smallest item is a 14-millimeter printing of Act IV, Scene 1 from The Merchant of Venice. The tallest set—twelve volumes of an 1888 edition of Shakespeare’s Works—is housed in a carved, glass-fronted wood cabinet.<br />
<br />
Harner’s collection comprises books crafted by individual artists or art collectives in limited editions as well as mass-printed books sold commercially with accompanying bookcases and boxes. Many items in the Harner collection are unique or known in only a few copies.<br />
<br />
This exhibition is on display in the Founders' Room, which is accessible only by docent tour. These free tours do not require advance registration and are offered Monday through Saturday at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and on Sunday at noon and 3pm.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Melissa Cook has served as the Acquisitions Librarian at the Folger Shakespeare Library since 1994. As Head of Acquisitions, she is the main contact for gift offers of books, art, and manuscripts. Cook enjoys meeting with donors and learning about their collections, though she keeps her personal collection to less than ten books. This is supplemented by buying books for other people and visiting the excellent public library near her home.<br />
<br />
Cook manages the Folger's annual Acquisitions Night. Participants are encouraged to explore new additions to the Folger collection and may have the opportunity to adopt materials for their preservation and conservation.<br />

== The James L. Harner Collection of Miniature Books Pertaining to Shakespeare ==<br />
<br />
<br />
You don’t have to read these books to understand what makes them special. Their size delights the viewer and demonstrates skilled printing, binding, and artist’s work. The smallest item is a 14-millimeter printing of Act IV, Scene 1 from The Merchant of Venice. The tallest set—twelve volumes of an 1888 edition of Shakespeare’s Works—is housed in a carved, glass-fronted wood cabinet.<br />
<br />
Harner’s collection comprises books crafted by individual artists or art collectives in limited editions as well as mass-printed books sold commercially with accompanying bookcases and boxes. Many items in the Harner collection are unique or known in only a few copies.<br />
<br />
This exhibition is on display in the Founders' Room, which is accessible only by docent tour. These free tours do not require advance registration and are offered Monday through Saturday at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and on Sunday at noon and 3pm.<br />

Melissa Cook has served as the Acquisitions Librarian at the Folger Shakespeare Library since 1994. As Head of Acquisitions, she is the main contact for gift offers of books, art, and manuscripts. Cook enjoys meeting with donors and learning about their collections, though she keeps her personal collection to less than ten books. This is supplemented by buying books for other people and visiting the excellent public library near her home.<br />
<br />
Cook manages the Folger's annual Acquisitions Night. Participants are encouraged to explore new additions to the Folger collection and may have the opportunity to adopt materials for their preservation and conservation.<br />

== '''Churchill's Shakespeare''' ==<br />
<br />
Oct 06, 2018 – Jan 06, 2019<br />
<br />
Winston Churchill was a towering leader during World War II, who gave hope to wartime Britain in its most difficult years. His event-filled life stretched from the mid-Victorian era to the 1960s. Many of his speeches are still quoted today. And, as Churchill's Shakespeare reveals, he was a lifelong admirer of Shakespeare, whose works shaped his writing and ideas.<br />
<br />
Churchill's Shakespeare exhibition at the Folger Shakespeare Library<br />
<br />
For the first time, this exhibition brings together photographs, posters, theater programs, personal letters, manuscripts, rare books, and more from the Churchill Archives Centre at Cambridge, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Churchill’s home Chartwell, and other collections. Among other items, Churchill's Shakespeare includes his familiar hat, bow tie, and walking stick—and some of his own copies of Shakespeare's plays. Visitors can also hear Churchill's speeches, listen to Shakespearean actors, and watch key video clips.<br />
<br />
Together, these materials suggest a wealth of Shakespearean connections throughout Churchill's life. As a boy, for example, Churchill sought twice, unsuccessfully, to win his school's Shakespeare Prize. He also had his own toy theater. As an author, his writings used theatrical metaphors to describe war and often employed lines or echoes from Shakespeare's plays. During World War I, as the First Lord of the Admiralty, Churchill wrote a note to the Admiral of the Fleet quoting Hamlet on "the native hue of resolution" and the need to take risks. Churchill and his family also engaged with the theater world and Shakespeare on many occasions.<br />
<br />
Above all, however, Churchill's Shakespeare explores the years of World War II, in which Churchill served as Britain's indomitable prime minister, rallying the nation and its allies to "never surrender." Some materials show the passages from Shakespeare's plays that influenced his most famous speeches. They also include the original manuscripts from which Churchill spoke—often prepared in a blank-verse format, like Shakespeare's plays. Others document how Churchill made possible Laurence Olivier's film Henry V (1944), a stirring work meant to raise Allied morale. Through these and many other examples, Churchill's Shakespeare uses Shakespearean associations to shine a new light on an extraordinary figure.<br />
<br />
== Meet the Curator ==<br />
As the Folger’s Associate Librarian and Head of Reference Emerita, Georgianna Ziegler was called back to curate ''Churchill's Shakespeare'' because of her in-depth knowledge of the library's Shakespeare holdings and her long experience with Folger exhibitions. These include ''America's Shakespeare'', ''Shakespeare’s the Thing'', ''Shakespeare's Sisters'', and ''Elizabeth I: Then and Now''. Ziegler is the author of numerous journal and reference articles and has served as President of the Shakespeare Association of America. She has enjoyed exploring Churchill's history and working with the staff of the Churchill Archives in Cambridge. Before coming to the Folger in 1992, Ziegler taught Shakespeare and was curator of the University of Pennsylvania’s Furness Library.</div>EmilySneddenYateshttps://folgerpedia.folger.edu/_mw/index.php?title=Churchill%27s_Shakespeare&diff=30383Churchill's Shakespeare2019-05-28T13:49:34Z<p>EmilySneddenYates: Created page with " == '''Churchill's Shakespeare''' == Oct 06, 2018 – Jan 06, 2019 Winston Churchill was a towering leader during World War II, who gave hope to wartime Britain in its most..."</p>

<hr />
<div>Dive deep into one of the world's greatest technologies—the book. Discover a history beyond what’s printed on the page, seen in the structure, craftsmanship, and beauty of this often-overlooked marvel. Curated by Renate Mesmer, the Folger's head of conservation, Form and Function shows the Folger collection from a completely different perspective. <br />
<br />
Discover the key parts of a book, and find out the many ways they can be combined. View the hidden details revealed by ultraviolet, infrared, transmitted, and raking light. And examine the small elements that a microscope can expose, including the fine touches of a richly embroidered 17th-century binding. A Shakespeare First Folio that was rebound in the late 1700s by Roger Payne, a well-known bookbinder, is also displayed, together with copies of Payne's descriptive notes. <br />
<br />
While the rare books are at the heart of the display, Genius of the Book also offers many other ways to explore, enjoy, and appreciate books and bookbinding. You can touch and feel some of the materials used in books, including leather, fabric, and parchment, and see an early bookbinder's tools or a conservator's modern equipment. <br />
<br />
As the exhibition shows, there are many reasons for the choices that were made in creating rare books. Ornamental features can also serve a functional purpose. Decorative or gilt edges can help to protect the edges from becoming dirty as a book is handled. <br />
<br />
Knowledge of the art and craftsmanship of rare books helps us explore the history of how books were made, makes it possible to repair and conserve them, and gives us the insight and expertise to appreciate them. In this exhibition, the books speak for themselves—not through the information stored inside them, but as unique, hand-crafted objects in their own right. <br />
