The official guide to accompany the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's current exhibition, Shakespeare Found: A Life Portrait.
Mark Broch, Curator of the Cobbe Collection, and Paul Edmondson, Head of Learning at The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, reveal how the painting known as the Cobbe portrait came to be freshly identified as a portrait of Shakespeare, his truest and best likeness. The guide also discusses Shakespeare's relationship with his patron, Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton - whose portrait is also featured in the exhibition - and includes a list of all the exhibited items. Illustrated in full colour throughout (32pp).
