Shakespeare Story

Item #1039

(April, 1984) The Bard is not resting, he is writing! Evidence of his creative productivity is seen in the play titles around his feet. The chair is padded and has a high back to protect him from the cold and drafts of an English home in Stratford-upon-Avon. Exactly what he looked like is not known; this portrait agrees with the few depictions made of him in the 16th century.
