400 years ago this month, Shakespeare’s First Folio of collected works was published at the instigation of John Heminges and Henry Condell, two friends of the author who had died in 1616. It contained all but two of his surviving plays; without the folio more would probably have been lost.

235 copies are thought to survive out of an estimated 750 print run. In 2020 one sold for $10m, the first to be sold since 2001.
