Dealer’s description of a Second Folio just arrived in my in-box. It says, ‘The “To the Reader” leaf and title-page are expertly accomplished antique facsimiles on old paper and the final Cymbeline leaf as these, all done many years ago in completely unobtrusive and very skilled workmanship.’
Reminds me of the sign in a shop window down the street advertising “original reproductions” of John F. Kennedy inauguration invitations.
