(360) Shakespeare‘s weird outfit and look.

Once you have understood the "absurdity" of the "Droeshout Engraving"

 it is no more possible to see it the "old" way.

                                                         ________for Details click Video below.________________


The numerous particular features --- (different hair length, a missing colar starched (stiffening?) line, the double chin line, the satorial absurdities [2 left arms, different shapes and sizes of the front panel, the different patterns in the embroidery [stripes], different shoulder wings] , no neck, disproportionate head-body size relation. etc..) --- show beyond doubt, that the engraving was carefully designed to consist of the left half of the front and the left half of the back side of the body and garment..--



No engraver could ever commit such a gross error unless it was expressly required. The remarkable oddities represent a skillfull executed carricature and were evidently intentional, required by the publishers (and/or by the yet living concealed poet himself: Christopher Marlowe)












The german non-fiction book: "->The True Shakespeare: Christopher Marlowe.- Towards a solution of the century old Authorship Problem"  discusses the problem of the->Multiple Oddities of the Droeshout engraving (p.67-71) of  "William Shakespeare" in the First Folio.  Early publications of the 20th century proposed, that the publishers of Shakespeare's "First Folio" were indicating that the person ostensibly depicted, Shakspere of Stratford, was  not the author of the plays that follow.-




"Shakspere" from Stratford 
was not
 "Shake-speare", the  dramatist of  the First Folio Plays.-

But this does not automatically lead to the understanding (s. Shahan's Video of the Shakespeare-Oxford Fellowship) ), that the Publishers (amongst others Edward Blount, William Aspley, William Jaggard) of the Folio (1623) had the intention to conceal the Earl of Oxford, who had died almost 20 years earlier (!! 1604)
