Alfred William Pollard (1859–1944) was an esteemed English bibliographer, widely recognized for his scholarly contributions to the study of early printed books and his expertise on William Shakespeare's works. Pollard's in-depth knowledge and his efforts to bring organization and systematic study to the field of bibliography were unparalleled. After earning a degree from King's College London and attending St John's College, Oxford, he went on to work at the British Museum, where his passion for early texts flourished. Pollard's literary style combined meticulous research with an accessible narrative, making his works valuable to both the scholarly community and general readers interested in the history of books. His extensive output includes the seminal 'Early Illustrated Books: A History of the Decoration and Illustration of Books in the 15th and 16th Centuries' (1893), a foundational work that offers insights into the artistic value and production techniques of illustrated texts in the burgeoning years of print. Pollard was recognized by the book trade for his influential role in establishing the bibliographic foundations that continue to guide historical book classification and authentication (Carter & Pollard, 1927). His distinguished career not only made significant contributions to literary scholarship but also helped to shape modern bibliographic standards, ensuring that his impact would endure well beyond his lifetime.
