A New Portrait Of Shakespeare

- The Case Of The Ely Palace Painting As Against That Of The So-Called Droeshout Original (1903)

Bag om A New Portrait Of Shakespeare

""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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
