These are the pages of my book Mapping Shakespeare’s Tragedies: King Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, which was included in the show, The Book’s the Thing: Shakespeare from Stage to Page, at the New Mexico History Museum from February 5 to 28, 2016. Each page is a map showing where a particular tragedy took place, with geographic elements and the movements of all the principals. I read all the plays, and did a lot of research of old maps from Shakespeare’s time. The book is a drum-leaf binding with watercolor and ink on watercolor paper. It measures 15″ high, 12″ wide and 3/4″ deep. The pages measure 15″x24″.

Hi Julie—this book is really beautiful!
I’m interesting in the book art group in Taos. Is there a way to get on the mailing list?
Thanks! Robin Lieske
Hi Robin, I will email the woman who sends out the emails to add your name & address. We don’t have a website, and basically the emails are announcements of the next meeting and sometimes minutes of the last. Our meetings are usually on the third Tuesday of the month at 3 pm at the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos. Best wishes, Julie (jlwagner333@windstream.net)
