For the entry on the portrait of Shakespeare's "consort" in the Third Folio copy at Colgate University, the correction of my identity at the time I published it is that I was an Assistant Professor of English (not a librarian), the subject's name was and is not mentioned anywhere on the drawing, or on its mount. So to call this a portrait of Anne Hathaway is premature, at best. And, as I recall, the drawing has been reinforced in ink, and is not merely in pencil. Its authenticity (or inauthenticity) is impossible to establish. It just exists as a claimant-- in the actual terms of its own accompanying descriptive text and verse. Further inference is almost absurd.
