[edit] Picture

Unfortunately, according to Alison Weir no portrait of Bryan has survived - I've noted this in the article. Mrabbits (talk) 22:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

That was a useful point to add to the article. As for the template above, "needs-photo" is despite its name a request for any material that could illustrate the article.
  • If there is no contemporary portrait/engraving/coin/etc. there is still the possibility of a later historical painting, or an "artist's depiction" illo in a history book, or made up for the cover of a biography, or a modern poststamp, etc.
  • And there are always things we don't think of, for instance a movie about Cromwell and Boleyn could feature him, and then a shot of his actor would provide an illo (decently captioned to explain). Or even a comic book or graphic novel featuring him as a character in a scene.
  • And they could originate from any country. Maybe that, right now, the Dutch have a book about famous historical traitors, featuring a dramatic depiction of Francis Bryan rendered in the style of Rembrandt? (I just made this up.) Maybe there is a collectible card game featuring him in one of its series?
Basically, if you keep the article listed in this category, it informs people specializing in illo-sleuthing that something, anything, would be welcome for the article. — Komusou talk @ 15:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
