Shakespeare Weekend
Edmond Malone’s (1741-1812) The Plays and Poems of William Shakspeare, in ten volumes, published in 1790 and printed by Henry Baldwin, begins its tenth volume with a full-page frontispiece of the 3rd Earl of Southampton, Henry Wriothesley (1573-1624) followed by a dedication to him written by Shakespeare and several verses written in Wriothesley’s memory by Shakespeare’s contemporaries before opening with Venus and Adonis. The frontispiece was engraved by William Sharp (1749-1824) from a painting by Dutch artist Michiel Janszoon van Mierevelt (1566-1641).
A second dedication to Wriothesley by Shakespeare appears before The Rape of Lucrece. While extravagant dedications were not unusual at the time, several scholars speculate about the relationship between the two men. English essayist Nathan Drake (1766-1836) proposed that the Earl was the Fair Youth of Shakespeare’s Sonnets and English poet Willam Davenant (1606-1668) chalked the adoration up to Wriothesley patronizing Shakespeare’s work.
Volume Ten concludes with a thorough appendix, including sheet music Malone inserted at the request of a “musical friend”, and a full glossarial index.

10/xx Michiel Janszoon van Mierevelt, George Villiers Duke of Buckingham, 1626, art gallery of South Australia
This portrait probably shows the Pearl suit George is said to have worn to Paris for the proxy wedding of Charles and Henrietta. According to reports the pearls were loosely attached to the suit so they would fall off as he walked - it was apparently quite the sight.
The pearl rope he is wearing was a gift from James and might have originally been Queen Anna’s prior to her death.
