A framed engraving of William Shakespeare's birthplace, created to show the home as it may have appeared at the time of Shakespeare. There is a winding dirt road in front of the home and no other buildings visible. Below the image is a small, round image of Shakespeare's head. The piece is signed by the engraver.
Connections to Home
Wesley Adams purchased this etching of Shakespeare's Birthplace to decorate the home he'd just built in Oakland as a reminder of his roots back in England. It hung in his parlor ever since. He regularly showed it to his children and grandchildren and talked about the history of the place, his origins and of his beloved Shakespeare.
