Martin Droeshout (/ˈdruːʃaʊt/; April 1601 – c.1650) was an English engraver of Flemish descent, whose fame rests almost completely on the fact that he made the title portrait for William Shakespeare's collected works, the First Folio of 1623, edited by John Heminges and Henry Condell, fellow actors of the Bard. Nevertheless, Droeshout produced other more ambitious designs in his career.Droeshout's artistic abilities are typically regarded as limited.
