Folger Shakespeare Library tells stories of the ages

The Folger Shakespeare Library has nine six-foot bas relief panels by the main entrance that illustrate William Shakespeare’s famous stories.

Starting left, they are A Midsummer’s Night Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Merchant of Venice, MacBeth, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Richard III, Hamlet and Henry IV. The three shown above are Julius Caesar, King Lear and Richard III respectively.

That’s quite a lineup.
