William Shakespeare’s First Folio published in 1623 gifted to UBC Library and now on display at the Vancouver Art Gallery
For All Time: The Shakespeare FIRST FOLIO at the Vancouver Art Gallery celebrates the University of British Columbia Library’s recent acquisition of a complete first edition of William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies—an extremely rare book published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death and credited with preserving almost half of his plays.
