While workmen were pulling down the remains of the old Duke's Theatre, built by Sir William Davenant in Lincolns Inn Fields, a bust of Shakespeare was discovered bricked up over a doorway. The bust passed into the possession of Sir Richard Owen, who sold it to the Duke of Devonshire. The duke had two copies made, and presented the original to the Garrick Club, where it is to this day. Sir Richard Owen obtained a copy, which he placed in his garden at Richmond. After Sir Richard's death, his grandson, the Reverend Richard Owen, presented this copy to the Shakespeare Memorial Association. The bust is of a later date than the Davenant bust, and though a fine work of art, cannot be taken as a likeness.
