A New Portrait of Shakespeare: The Case of the Ely Palace Painting as Against that of the So-Called Droeshout Original: in Bloomington, MN

This volume entitled "A New Portrait of Shakespeare", Mr. John Corbin states the case of the Ely Palace painting as against that of the so-called Droeshout original. The latter painting has been looked upon by the highest authorities as in all probability a life portrait, and has been introduced as of chief interest in biographies of the great dramatist. Mr. Corbin relates the history of this and the Ely Palace portrait, discussing their respective claims to be regarded as genuine, and aims to show that the so-called Droeshout original is probably a fabrication, and that the Ely Palace painting is probably a life portrait of Shakespeare.
