About this work

This print shows a famous scene from Shakespeare’s *Romeo and Juliet*. Two actors play the lead roles—Forbes Robertson as Romeo and Mrs. Patrick Campbell as Juliet. It came from a collection of theater prints made in the early 1800s. The print was made by A. Marion & Co., a company known for publishing actor portraits. It’s one of many images that kept stage stars in the public eye back then. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the original print.
