The Picture

There are two groups of variant states in this edition, one affecting the title page and the outer sheet I. The title page exists in two states, with slight differences in spelling and formatting: Greg 436a(*1) calls the play "A TRAGÆCOMÆDJE"; Greg 436a(†1) calls it "A TRAGECOMEDIE." For sheet I, the typography of Greg 436a(*2) resembles that of neighboring sheets; in Greg 436a(†2), the type of the RT is smaller, and roman capitals frequently appear in italic speakers’ names. The title page and sheet I variants occur independently of each other and thus, in individual copies, can be found mixed together in different combinations. See also Greg
