“Forensic scientists claim to have proved a bust and a death mask are the exact likeness of William Shakespeare. Scientists in Germany scanned the sculptures using computerised imaging techniques to show that they match up with portraits of the Bard. The systems, used by police, map out a person’s face to identify whether they tally with known pictures. Elizabethan experts deny the claim, saying busts and portraits were not true likenesses [and] often look similar.”
