{290} Mr. Lionel Cust, director of the National Portrait Gallery, who
has ittle doubt of the genuineness of the picture, gave an interesting
account of it at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries on December 12,
1895. Mr. Cust's paper is printed in the Society's _Proceedings_, second
series, vol. xvi. p. 42. Mr. Salt Brassington, the librarian of the
Shakespeare Memorial Library, has given a careful description of it in
the _Illustrated Catalogue of the Pictures in the Memorial Gallery_,
1896, pp. 78-83.

{291c} Numberless portraits have been falsely identified with
Shakespeare, and it would be futile to attempt to make the record of the
pretended portraits complete. Upwards of sixty have been offered for
sale to the National Portrait Gallery since its foundation in 1856, and
not one of these has proved to possess the remotest claim to
authenticity. The following are some of the wholly unauthentic portraits
that have attracted public attention: Three portraits assigned to
Zucchero, who left England in 1580, and cannot have had any relations
with Shakespeare--one in the Art Museum, Boston, U.S.A.; another,
formerly the property of Richard Cosway, R.A., and afterwards of Mr. J.
A. Langford of Birmingham (engraved in mezzotint by H. Green); and a
third belonging to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who purchased it in 1862.
At Hampton Court is a wholly unauthentic portrait of the Chandos type,
which was at one time at Penshurst; it bears the legend 'AEtatis suae 34'
(cf. Law's _Cat. of Hampton Court_, p. 234). A portrait inscribed
'aetatis suae 47, 1611,' belonging to Clement Kingston of Ashbourne,
Derbyshire, was engraved in mezzotint by G. F. Storm in 1846.

{292} In the picture-gallery at Dulwich is 'a woman's head on a boord
done by Mr. Burbidge, ye actor'--a well-authenticated example of the
actor's art.

daughter-in-law, Darmstadt, Heidelbergerst
