Shakespeare contain cryptograms that suggest Bacon as the author.
The original engraving of this portrait is kept at the Sovereign Headquarters of the Rose Cross Order.
When it is superimposed over a portrait of William Shakespeare surprising coincidental similarities
are observed that encourage speculation on the validity of this idea.
