    There are no photographs of Shakespeare. He lived way before the invention of photography.

    As far as I understand there is a painting that might be of him, but it’s difficult because it doesn’t say “this is a painting of Shakespeare” on the bottom. It’s just a painting of a random man who probably was Shakespeare, but we don’t have proof.

    Even if the painting is of him we are assuming that it’s an accurate painting.
