This First Folio belonged to George John Venables, fifth Baron Vernon, in the mid-1850s. It then remained in the family until 1918, when Henry and Emily Folger acquired the book at a Sotheby’s sale for $11,000. Other than several defective leaves in the introduction, which have been repaired, this is a complete First Folio.
