AB  - Focuses on two American artists who contributed to the Boydell Shakespeare gallery: Benjamin West, who painted "Lear in the Storm" and "Ophelia's Madness"; and Mather Brown, who painted Richard II's decoronation and "Earl of Surrey, Defending his Allegiance to Richard III." Argues that when the Shakespeare Gallery began to flounder in England, Shearjashub "Spooner brought it to America, gave it new life, and helped shape its critical reception in the United States" by publishing engravings of West's and Brown's paintings by William Sharpe, Richard Earlom, Francis Legat, and Benjamin Smith.
