Oberon. Flying between the cold moon and the earth,
Cupid all arm'd.
Helena. I'll follow thee, and make a heaven of hell,
To die upon the hand I love so well.

thankyou so much for posting these, Thomas. they are absolutely beautiful. I've got to go out and hunt myself down a copy of this, I'd love to see them in print. brilliant, mate.
You're right Joe. There is nothing like holding a beautiful book—beautifully written, illustrated and printed, with the perfect paper and binding. Ain't no Kindle gonna give you that.
Lovely! I agree, Kindle can't replace the experience of looking at a book with beautiful plates. That's why I think bound books won't die out - but in several decades they may become luxury items.
Thomas,
Many, many, thanks for posting these incredible illustrations by W.H. Robinson from one of the greatest illustrated books of all time! I look in every day and have greatly enjoyed each installment of A Midsummer Night's Dream! For most, Robinson's art is forgotten...thanks to folk like you that make this art available for everyone to see! Can't wait to see the remaining illustrations!
Thank you Mr. Door Tree. High praise indeed, coming from one such as you. Your posts are always a joyful celebration of the illustrative arts.
These are beautiful, Thom! I just came across them.
Hi Annie—They're timeless, aren't they?
