The image comes from A book of Shakespeare’s songs (New York: G. Schirmer, 1903) with musical settings by various composers, the whole arranged and decorated by Edward Edwards. Department of Special Collections, Memorial Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our copy is no. 28 of 200, gift of the publisher to the library.
