This print shows a stage actor playing a famous king. Made in 1805, it’s a portrait of George Frederick Cooke in the role of Richard III. The print is part of a collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The actor’s lively pose hints at the drama of the play. It was published by John P. Thompson that same year.
