"The Dramatic Works Of Shakespeare By The Artists Of Great Britain" is a seminal collection of prints published by John Boydell, an influential British publisher and engraver, in the late 18th century. This ambitious project, often referred to as the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, was conceived as a means to elevate the status of British art and literature. Boydell's vision was to produce a series of high-quality engravings based on the plays of William Shakespeare, created by some of the most prominent artists of the time. The collection was intended to showcase the artistic talent of Great Britain and to promote the works of Shakespeare, who was already regarded as one of the greatest playwrights in the English language.

The project began in 1786, with Boydell commissioning leading artists such as Joshua Reynolds, Henry Fuseli, and Angelica Kauffman to create paintings inspired by scenes from Shakespeare's plays. These original paintings were then meticulously engraved by skilled craftsmen to produce the prints that would be included in the collection. The Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, located in Pall Mall, London, was opened to the public in 1789, allowing visitors to view the original paintings before they were reproduced as prints.

The publication of "The Dramatic Works Of Shakespeare By The Artists Of Great Britain" was a monumental undertaking that spanned several years. The first volume was released in 1791, with subsequent volumes following over the next decade. The collection was highly praised for its artistic quality and its contribution to the appreciation of Shakespeare's works. It played a significant role in the development of British art and the popularization of Shakespeare during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Despite its initial success, the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery faced financial difficulties, and Boydell was forced to sell the gallery and its contents in a lottery in 1805. Nevertheless, the legacy of "The Dramatic Works Of Shakespeare By The Artists Of Great Britain" endures, as it remains a testament to the intersection of visual art and literature and the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's plays.
