IMAGE number: BL7378200
Image title: A detail from Genealogical roll of the descent of John Dee … showing his kinship with the Sovereigns of the House of Tudor
Artist: Dee, John (1527-1609) / British
Location: British Library, London, UK

Image description: Ref. Cotton. Ch. XIV.1. A little hand-coloured portrait (or more probably a self-portrait) of Dee in a fur-lined black cloak and cap, holding a red book and a pair of mathematical dividers. This is thought by some critics to be the only surviving image of Dee to have been produced in his lifetime.
