This print shows William Thomas Lewis as the Copper Captain in an old play by John Fletcher. It’s a single sheet, printed in London on 5th February 1808. It’s one of many prints made to sell to theater lovers back then. The play is called “To Rule a Wife, and Have a Wife.” Next time you’re in London, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
