"The interior of Dulwich College Chapel. A stout man, probably the Master, wearing a gown, stands in a pulpit or desk (left), a large book before him, his eyes and mouth twisted in a sly leer. Below him (right) the figure of Edward Alleyne has risen from a tombstone and stands (half length) holding up the horizontal stone. He is surrounded by clouds. He wears hat, ruff, and a gown which differs from that of the living man chiefly in being furred. The figure is copied (in reverse) from the whole length portrait of Alleyne at Dulwich College. On the stone, beneath a coat of arms, is the inscription, a strip along the left being cut off by the lower margin of the print: 'Sacred | the Memory of | Edward Alleyne | Founder of this | College | Life Nov 26 | 1626 Æ 63 | Likewise | Joan his Dear | Wife who F | race 28 June 1623.' Next the Master is a sour-looking profile, and, below, three choristers (full-face), are grinning broadly."--British Museum online catalogue
