Description:An owner’s bookplate in a Shakespeare ‘quarto’. The ownership of books is frequently indicated by a label or ‘bookplate’ created for an individual owner. The label of the poet Frederick Locker (1821-1895) has a coat-of-arms above a seated fool with the motto ‘Fear God, Fear Nought’. Above is the more ‘workman-like’ label used to identify books in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust collections from the early twentieth-century onwards. Full title: William Shakespeare, A midsommer nights dreame. As it hath beene sundry times publikely acted, Written by William Shakespeare. [London], Printed by James Roberts, 1600. [i.e. William Jaggard for Thomas Pavier, 1619].
