The First Folio of Shakespeare's plays was published in 1623, seven years after his death. It was compiled, from unauthorised versions, by two actors of the King's Company of Players, John Heminge and Henry Condell. It remains the only source for many of Shakespeare's plays. This second folio includes as a frontispiece the well-known portrait of Shakespeare, engraved by artist Martin Droeshout.
