Hi,
I was curious to know if your exhibition uses or makes any reference to the image of Shakespeare that was the subject of this announcement: http://www.shakespearefound.org.uk/press.html
Best regards,
Bill Sullivan
The exhibition does not make reference to the Cobbe portrait, but does discuss the importance of images of Shakespeare, to different audiences over centuries, and particularly in the section on “Tourists and Patriots,” which includes William Dugdale’s engraving of Shakespeare’s memorial in Stratford-on-Avon, in his Antiquities of Warwickshire (1656).
Thank you Shakespeare for making great books and great plays. You helped us experience a lot of tragedies,histories, and comedies. Thank you! Christian thrower. 7 years old

I so enjoyed the exhibit. Will you please post a photo and more information about about the card/parlor game shown on the far wall? Thank you.
