A historian has revealed what he claims is the first portrait of William Shakespeare created in his lifetime 400 years ago.

The image, said to show the Bard "with a film star's good looks", was identified by Mark Griffiths in the first edition of a 16th Century book on plants, called The Herball.

A Latin cipher "of the kind loved by the Elizabethan aristocracy" which is part of the engraving was decoded to read William Shakespeare.
The drawing shows a handsome, bearded man with a laurel wreath around his head, holding an ear of sweetcorn.
