2. Why did you choose these symbols? It represents my life living in NY + moving to NH for 2 years + moving back home. It shows how beautiful life is in both places.
3. What do you hope viewers notice or feel? I hope viewers feel happiness + it makes them want to camp + be outside.]]> Seguin, Joshua]]> 1. What does your square represent? I used tweed fabric to make bookshelves and cut small pieces of striped fabric to make books. I glued each strip to make realistic shelves. The green border is representative of my dad. The green clouds were cut from sheep-patterned fabric.
2. Why did you choose these symbols? Reading and books in general has been the center of my life since I learned to read, and have since led me to working in a library. My dad, who passed in 2017, was my greatest supporter in my love of books and his memory surrounds everything I do. He encouraged hard work and pride in that work, as well as strong passion and love for what you do.
3. What do you hope viewers notice or feel? I hope they feel inspired to read a book and visit a library!]]> Semo, Andrew J.]]> Seneca]]> Seneca Nation of New York]]> Grosvenor Room of B&ECPL (repository)/Rare Book Room of B&ECPL (repository)]]> eng]]> Sesser, W. G.]]> Rare Book Room of the B&ECPL (repository)]]> eng]]> Early Twentieth Century (1900-1925)]]> Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616--Bibliography--Folios. 1623.]]> Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies, published seven years after the bard's death, compiles 36 plays written by William Shakespeare. Named the "First Folio" by scholars, it is the first collection of Shakespeare's work printed, and contained 18 previously unpublished works--The Tempest, Macbeth, and Twelfth Night among them. 

Assembled by John Heminges and Henry Condell, and published by Edward Blount and William and Isaac Jaggard, the First Folio was presented by the publishers as the first authentic reproduction of Shakespeare's plays (some of which had been previously printed under dubious circumstances). Additionally, the Martin Droeshout-produced portrait in the Folio would be considered one of the few reliable images of Shakespeare, as it was approved by those who worked with him during his life. 

In 1919, NYC book dealer Gabriel Wells purchased a copy of the First Folio on behalf of Colonel Charles Clifton, president of the Pierce Arrow Company.  The copy, though imperfect, was described in the seller’s catalog as “probably” belonging to Samuel Gilburne, one of the actor’s in Shakespeare’s company.  The basis for this claim is rather flimsy, Gilburne’s name is written next to where his name is printed in the list of “Principall Actors”.  The original catalog price was $3,000.00.  Henry Clay Folger (Folger Library in DC) ordered the copy only to discover it had already been sold.  Folger offered to pay the buyer $6,000.00; Clifton refused indicating that he wanted to own a First Folio.  Eventually Folger and Clifton arranged a swap, whereby Folger got the purported Gilburne copy and Clifton received a more-perfect copy. Folger paid Clifton $6500 for the Gilburne copy and Clifton purchased a more complete, finer copy, which sold at auction for $8,800.00.  In 1926, Colonel Clifton donated this copy of the First Folio, along with the Second, Third, Fourth Folios, and the Poems to the Grosvenor Library. In 1953, the Grosvenor Library was incorporated into the newly-formed Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, and in 1964 the collection would be relocated to the newly-constructed Rare Book Room at the Central Library. ]]> Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616]]> Rare Book Room of the B&ECPL (repository)]]> eng]]> 17th century (1600-1699)]]> Sheridan, J.
