In October 1995, I attended an exhibit in our USA Library of Congress,
called "French Culture" in which I saw a portrait of the Duke of
Buckingham, drawn in "crayon" by the artist, Daniel Dumontier, dated
1625. The Duke was drawn wearing a ruff almost exactly like the ruff
worn by Shakespeare in the First Folio of 1623, except for the
encirclement of semi-elliptical frills all around the Duke's ruff. I
will send the picture to anyone who asks me for it through e/mail if
they will agree to explain why the commoner is wearing what appears to
be wearing a ruff very similar to that worn by the Duke, to find out why
Martin Droeshoutor Ben Jonson would allow that kind of nobleman's ruff
to be worn by the Bard.
I think it should be seriously considered a very important part of the
"Searching for Shakespeare" exhibit currently being shown at the
National Gallery.
Respectfully,
Sid Lubow

David Basch refers to "the Dugdale sketch controversy". There is, of
course, no Dugdale sketch controversy - except in the sense that there
is an "authorship controversy", or a controversy over Shakespeare's
knowledge of Hebrew.
