ENGLISH SCHOOL, 17th/EARLY 18th CENTURY, A PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, OIL ON COPPER, half-length, depicted holding a quill with an image of the Globe Theatre bottom left, in a giltwood period frame bearing a plaque indistinctly inscribed with his motto "Non Sans Droit" and the words "Of Ryghte we Hayle Thee Mayster of the Globe Thee whom Bens Venomd Shaftes or Snareful Praise have neer had Powre to Bereave or Robbe o` the Poets Highest Meede the Living Dayes". 18cm by 14cm Note: This portrait was widely known during the second half of the 20th century as the "Ogden" portrait of Shakespeare and, prior to that, as the "Norwich" or "Boardman" portait. Nothing is known of the history of the picture prior to 1820 when it was bought by Boardman, Sub-Chamberlain of the City of Norwich from a local auctioneer. Mention was made at the time of this purchase of provenance from Lord Audley. The painting was exhibited in 1864 at the Tercentenary Celebrations in Stratford-upon-Avon. From the 1870`s to 1945 it was owned by the Firth family of Norwich. The picture was bought at Sotheby`s in 1945 by a Mr. C. K. Ogden who apparently had it cleaned by a Viennese restorer called Hans Beran who, we are informed by documents in the possession of the vendor, restored a Romney portrait of Mrs Fitzherbert and a Holbein in a collection at Basle. It was exhibited in London as part of "Shakespeare`s England" exhibition at 190 Queen`s Gate in 1964 and the portrait was discussed in an article published in the New Statesman on 9th October of that year.
ROWE, Harry (1726-99). Macbeth: A Tragedy. Written by William Shakespeare. With Notes and Emendations by Harry Rowe ... The Second Edition. York: Printed by Wilson, Spence, and Mawman, 1799. 8vo in 4s (225 x 145mm). Engraved portrait of Harry Rowe (some very light staining). [?]Original wrappers (rather worn). Provenance: partly illegible old inscription on verso of wrapper. The title page describes the editor as "Trumpet-Major to the High Sheriffs of Yorkshire; and Master of a Puppet-Show." In his Preface, the editor describes how, six months previously, he had been "as poor as the poorest felon that ever was hanged at Tyburn." He goes on: "In plain English, I am Master of a Puppet-show; and as from the nature of my employment, I am obliged to have a few stock-plays ready for presentation, whenever I am accidentally visited by a select party of Ladies and Gentlemen, I have added the Tragedy of Macbeth to my Green-room collection. The alterations that I have made in this play are warranted from a careful perusal of a very old manuscript in the possession of my prompter, one of whose ancestor`s by the mother`s side, was rush-spreader, and candle-snuffer, at the Globe play-house."
