Description

Notes The top left-hand corner of the portrait bears the Latin inscription "AN: DÑI [ANNO DOMINI] 1602 / ATATIS SW [AETATIS SUAE] 3 2" ("In the year of our Lord 1602 / Aged 32"); the space between the numbers 3 and 2 is in the portrait. This casts some doubt on whether the portrait is of Harriot – since Harriot was born about 1560, he would have been about 42 years old in 1602. The portrait appears as Plate 1 of Muriel Rukeyser's book The Traces of Thomas Hariot, the caption of which reads: "Thomas Hariot. Even with the wrong details, this is taken to be his portrait.": Muriel Rukeyser (1972) The Traces of Thomas Hariot, London: Gollancz ISBN: 0575013540. See John Dudley (15 October 1997).
