Person
William Shakespeare
(subject)
Dating
1864
Note
This piece is a variety of HCR95705, which curiously and incorrectly gives the date of Shakespeare's birth as 1574, rather than 1564. The Stratford memorial bust (located within the church depicted) gives Shakespeare's dates quite clearly: OBIIT ANO DOI 1616 ÆTATIS٠53 DIE 23 APR. ("He died AD 1616; in his 53rd year, April 23rd"). Also see HCR95768, HCR95771, HCR95772.
