This is a copy of the First Folio, Number 11 of William Shakespeare's Comedies, histories, and tragedies, published in London in 1623. It is on display in the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. Quoting from their website:
The Folger collection is vast and varied. The vault houses about 260,000 printed books; 60,000 manuscripts; 90,000 prints, drawings, photographs, paintings, and other works of art; and a wealth of performance history, from a quarter of a million playbills to films, recordings, and stage costumes.
