The folio was published by John Heminges and Henry Condell – two of Shakespeare’s closest friends and fellow actors from the King’s Men acting company. It is a compilation of 36 out of Shakespeare’s 37 plays, and without it, half of the plays may have been otherwise lost forever, according to the dealer.
