Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Michael Drayton NPG 776

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Unknown artist

This portrait was re-identifed as Michael Drayton following detailed technical analysis proving the authenticity of the crown of laurel branches. The picture dates from 1599 and the inscribed age at this date matches Drayton's own. Following the death of the poet Edmund Spenser in 1599, Drayton was one of the main contenders for the unofficial role of Poet Laureate.
