This print shows a crowded 1804 scene in London. It’s called “The Introduction!” and features a boy actor named Master Betty meeting King George III, Queen Charlotte, two princesses, and the Earl of Dartmouth. Richard Brinsley Sheridan makes the introductions. Master Betty was a teenage star of the London stage, so this print celebrates a famous young performer meeting royalty. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
