Remembering Shakespeare: An exhibition at Beinecke Library

Shakespeare is here!
Remembering Shakespeare is now on view at the Beinecke! This exhibition tells the story of how a playwright and poet in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England came to be remembered as the world's most venerated author. Rebecca Martz, the publications specialist in our office, was in charge of all print and publicity materials related to this full-building exhibition. She designed everything from the small take-away booklet pictured above to a catalogue to the large banner that hangs just inside the entrance of the Beinecke:
