A rare collection of William Shakespeare’s earliest works is on display in London ahead of a highly anticipated auction.
The bard’s 1623 First Folio is expected to fetch more than £4.5million (US $6m) when it goes under the hammer in Christie’s in New York later this year.
It contains 36 plays including Macbeth and is the first time Shakespeare’s works were organised into categories such as comedy and tragedy. It also contains 18 plays that may otherwise have been lost.
The work is on display at Christie’s in London ahead of the auction on April 24.
