This is terribly exciting. I recently read Bill Bryson's short work "Shakespeare" and was amazed to find out how little is known about Shakespeare, & indeed most playwrights from that time.
Turns out one of the 2 images (prior to this) that show Shakespeare's appearance, the bust, was practically destroyed when it was erroneously whitewashed which removed most of the detail. (The caretaker believed the colors were not meant to be part of the bust.)
It's practically miraculous that something new was unearthed now, after people have been hunting for a couple hundred years.
Mysterious. Tragic. Historical. What more could you want?
