Shakespeare biographers and all their faked portraits
of (pseudo)-images of Shakespeare!
_________________________
We have no proof that Shakespeare himself ever had a portrait done of himself, and there is no written description of his physical appearance. So our knowledge of his appearance is fairly limited.
Because of his fame and the lack of accurate images, countless fake Shakespeare images cropped up and portraits of others were often mislabeled as Shakespeare.
It’s hard to determine exactly how all these fake portraits impacted the image we now have of Shakespeare.

The most accurate but posthumous (pseudo)images of Shakespeare are considered to come from
a) the Droeshout engravement and b) the Stratford monument. (First 2 Portraits 1623)
One has to call
most Shakespeare biographers are "dishonest experts", since they all used faked portraits !!
(apart from the first 2) as title covers ?
