This print shows Edward Sothern Askew, made by Alexander Bassano in 1863. It’s a simple portrait, one of many he made of actors and public figures. The print was published that same year by Stanhart & Dixon. Bassano worked in London around the start of Impressionism and Realism. This piece sits between the two, mixing clear detail with softer tones. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints by Bassano.
