J. Alais is a Romanticism artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

J. Alais made hand-colored prints of actors on stage in early 1800s London. Their prints capture star turns like “Mr. Kean as Macbeth” in 1814 and “Mr. Lewis as the Copper Captain” from 5 February 1808. These crisp costume dramas belong to the Georgian theater print tradition. Tap into the same era with the print “Mr. Lewis as the Copper Captain.”
