Vintage Canada - Knopf, 2002 BRAND NEW Trade Paperback. First Edition (stated), 1st Printing. Remainder stripe on bottom edge, otherwise pristine. Unread, unhandled. No wear to wraps, binding or pages. 5.5" x 8.75", 365 pages, b&w and color photographs. - In 2001, Globe and Mail reporter Stephanie Nolen announced a stunning discovery: an attractive portrait held by an Ontario family for twelve generations, which may be the only known portrait of William Shakespeare painted during his lifetime. 'Shakespeare’s Face' is the biography of a portrait -- a literary mystery story -- and the furious debate that has ensued since its discovery. A slip of paper affixed to the back of the painting proclaims 'Shakespeare, this likeness taken 1603, age at that time 39 ys.' But is it really Shakespeare who peers at us from the small oil on wood painting? The twinkling eyes, reddish hair, and green jacket are not in keeping with the duller, traditional images of the bard. But they are more suggestive of the humorous and humane man who wrote the greatest plays in the English language. 'Shakespeare’s Face' tells the riveting story of how the painting came to reside in the home of a retired engineer in a mid-sized Ontario town. The painting is reputed to be by John Sanders of Worcester, England. As a retirement project, the engineer, whose grandmother kept the family treasure under her bed, embarked on authenticating the portrait: the forensic analyses that followed have proven it without doubt to the period..
