A New Portrait Of Shakespeare: The Case Of The Ely Palace Painting As Against That Of The So-Called Droeshout Original (1903)

By John Corbin, Benno Loewy, John Corbin

Book Overview

""A New Portrait of Shakespeare"" by John Corbin is a book that challenges the authenticity of the famous Droeshout engraving of William Shakespeare. The author presents evidence in favor of a lesser-known painting, the Ely Palace portrait, as a more accurate depiction of the playwright. Corbin delves into the history of both portraits and analyzes their artistic qualities, arguing that the Ely Palace portrait captures Shakespeare's true likeness and character. The book is a fascinating exploration of the mysteries surrounding Shakespeare's appearance and a thought-provoking examination of the role of art in shaping our understanding of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
