William Shakespeare's 'Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies' is often referred to as the 'First Folio'. It is the first collected edition of Shakespeare's works, published posthumously in 1623. The 'Second Impression', referenced in the title, suggests a reissue or reprinting of this original collection.
