    You’d probably recognize Steven King also, but yeah the list is extremely small for everyone

      I’d recognise Poe, Pratchett as long as he had his hat, probably A. C. Clarke. There might be more, but that’s about everyone I can think of right now.

      I googled Asimov and that’s a very distinct look, but I can’t say I recall ever seeing him before.

      Everyone mentioned so far is also a recent writer who actually has photographs available.

      Is there any photograph available from Shakespeare? I am a bit oblivious now when that technology started and if Shakespeare had access to it. Otherwise there are only drawings available and I think we all have seen how different the same person can look on historic documents.
