Chapter 4 129The Ashbourne Portrait of “Shakespeare,” 1580s #31 Thisportrait of Edward de Vere at the age of forty-seven was hung in the schoolof Ashbourne, a seat of the Trenthams, Oxford’s third wife. It wasultimately acquired by the Folger Library of Washington and hangs theretoday. Alterations were revealed by x-ray and infrared photographyexecuted by Charles Wisner Barrell who, in the early 1950s, published hisfindings in The Scientific American. Some of them were: the courtier’s laceruff had been painted over to resemble a commoner’s plain collar; theboar-crest of the seal ring on the thumb had been obscured; the Trenthamcoat-of-arms in the upper left hand corner had been painted over and thedate changed; the initials “C.K.” for Cornelius Ketel, the famous artist,had been painted out; the hairline was moved back to make him to appearbald. Like the unbiblical “Jesus Christ” of Jesuitism, the AshbournePortrait of “William Shakespeare” is just another pious and literary fraud.This Star of England, Dorothy and Charlton Ogburn, (New York: Coward-McCannInc., 1952).The Jesuits – 1588
