This print shows an actor playing a famous Shakespeare villain. It’s from a long time ago—late 1700s to early 1800s—and it’s a print, so it was made to share around. The actor is Mr. Kean playing Richard III on stage in London. The print lets us see how people dressed on stage back then. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
