The lower compartment was made for the First Folio and the upper center space was made for Shakespeare's Poems. In his book, A treatise on the identity of Herne's oak...1867, in which Perry describes this casket, he calls the upper side compartments "drawers" and says he made them to house "...relics, or interesting memoranda relating to the immortal Bard..." The casket was designed so that the books and drawers could be ejected by a concealed springs. Directions are inscribed on ivory panels mounted on either side of the certification plaque inside the dropped front. The mechanism no longer works. William Perry carved the casket in an Elizabethan style, setting most ornaments on the 4 sides and the top in strapwork. The center of the top has a portrait of Shakespeare carved after the Droeshout image with the inscription, "Shakespeare, 1623." The portrait is encircled by a wreath of bay leaves intertwined in the strapwork. On either side are ornaments with his birth and death dates. The ground of the top has been treated to have a matte finish. At the corners are globes with oak wreaths. The molding around the edge of the top is decorated with a band of ivy leaves. According to Perry's account of this carving, the center front of the casket has the arms of Miss Burdett Coutts, as she was known at that time. His carving differs, somewhat, from the description of the arms in Burke's The General Armory...1884, p. 235, which states in part that the 1st and 4th quarters (for Coutts) have a stag's head "caboshed." Perry carved a stag's head "erased." Burke also states that the 2nd and 3rd quarters (for Burdett) have 2 bars, each charged with 3 martlets. There are no martlets. See Webster's New International Dictionary...1936, for pictures of heraldic images. On either side of the arms is the monogram, AGBC. Above the arms is a keyhole, no escutcheon. The back has the shield of Shakespeare, flanked by his crest, the haggard falcon. The sides have the monograms WS and AH for William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway. At the angles of the casket are niches, each having an oak tree in bas relief at the back with ivy growing around the trunks. In the niches are 4 figures from The Merry Wives of Windsor, reading from the left front, counterclockwise, Slender, Ann Page, Falstaff, and Mistress Quickly. The figures are carved in full relief.

Associated Name (Hamnet) Bourdett-Coutts, Angela Georgina, 1814-1906, former owner. Notes (Hamnet) Subject: See Pressly Catalogue, no. 29. Notes (Hamnet) Burdett-Coutts sale, Christie's, 4 May 1922, lot 26, as "Queen Mab from Romeo and Juliet," 56 guineas (£58.16.0), Rosenbach acting as agent. Notes (Hamnet) Condition reviewed the ground is red, and it is thinly and evenly applied Notes (Hamnet) Conserved in earlier restorations, the paint layer had been overcleaned and greatly overpainted. One of the more egregious additions was a black lump faintly resembling a bird at the far right. This curious form consisted only of repaint with no original basis underneath and in 1988 was removed. Presumably an earlier restorer wished to "improve" the composition by more firmly anchoring the right-hand side Notes (Hamnet) Exhibited: 'As imagination bodies forth...'

Notes (Hamnet) Conserved 19510000 the painting was sent to Boston to be relined and cleaned when it was on loan for the exhibition at Amherst in 1951. It was conserved again in 1959 and 1979. It was during this last restoration that the sketch on the verso was noted for the first time when the secondary support was removed. According to the condition report, the painting of the woman on the couch on the recto was probably uncovered during a previous restoration. The restorer also noted that two figures are visible in the background if the right side of the painting is at the bottom. In inpainting losses and abrasions an attempt was made to minimize the confusion resulting from the multiple images Notes (Hamnet) Conserved 19590000 Notes (Hamnet) Conserved 19790000 Notes (Hamnet) Exhibited: Mead Art Building, Amherst College, "Shakespeare, Hamlet and Macbeth" (no catalogue), 1951; Mead Art Building, Amherst College, (no catalogue), 1952; Washington, D.C., Federal Reserve Board, Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century English Painting, 1976- 1977, no. 9; San Francisco, California Academy of Sciences, and six other cities in traveling exhibition organized by the Folger Shakespeare Library, "Shakespeare: The Globe and the World," 1979-1982, repr. in color p. 155; Montgomery, Ala., Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, and two other cities in traveling exhibition, "A Brush with Shakespeare: The Bard in Painting, 1780-1910", 1985-1986, no. 25; 'As imagination bodies forth...'
