The silent era "Robert Vaughn" had studied art at the University of Munich, Germany, and later designed murals for several pavilions at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. A longtime desire to become an actor led Vaughn to the prestigious Bush Temple Stock Company of Chicago. A few years later, he was starring on Broadway opposite such legendary stage actresses as Amelia Bingham and "Marguerite Clark". The latter recommended him as her leading man in "Still Waters" (1915), but by then Vaughn had already become a veteran motion picture actor.

Robert Vaughn, a popular engraver who worked in pre Civil-War London, executed this portrait of Jonson sometime during the early to mid 1620s. Strictly speaking, it has no direct connection with the folio of 1616 and consequently seems out of place in this catalogue. However, booksellers and collectors have for decades included this engraving in their descriptions of folios, though the image was most certainly bound into the volume at a later date. This has not kept a number of scholars from mistakenly attributing the Vaughn portrait to the first folio of 1616. The latest example of misidentification occurs in Rosalind Miles' 1986 biography of Jonson, the frontispiece of which bears the Vaughn portrait and the caption, "Engraving of Jonson by Robert Vaughn which accompanied the First Folio of his Works in 1616." Were this true it would make Vaughn a precocious child indeed, as he was in his teens at the time of the folio's printing.

From All Movie Guide: To hear him tell it, Robert Vaughn has spent most of his acting career getting very well paid for being artistically frustrated. Born in Manhattan and raised in Minnesota, Vaughn went straight from college drama classes to his first film, the juvenile delinquent opus No Time to Be Young (1957). Ever on the search for "meaningful" roles, Vaughn signed to play a survivor of a nuclear apocalypse in what he assumed would be a serious, politically potent drama: the film was released as Teenage Caveman (1957). Though Oscar-nominated for his performance as a crippled, alcoholic war veteran in The Young Philadelphians (1959), Vaughn didn't rise to full stardom until 1964, where he was signed to play ultra-cool secret agent Napoleon Solo in the TV espionage series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964-1968). He swore at that time that he'd never, ever subject himself to the rigors of another television series, but in 1972 he was back to the weekly grind in the British series The Protectors.
