Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

William Shakespeare NPG 1281

© National Portrait Gallery, London

after Gerard Johnson

This is a nineteenth century copy of Shakespeare's monument at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-Upon-Avon. The original was possibly by Garrat Johnson (or Gheerart Janssen), a Dutch émigré working in Southwark at the time. The copy was made when the original polychrome bust was painted white. Sculptural funerary monuments and memorials increasingly included portraits around this time.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
