This print shows a stage actor named John Liston. It was made around the early 1800s. Boosey & Co made it to advertise his role as Billy Lackaday in the play Sweethearts & Wives. The print is part of a big theater collection. It comes from a time when prints often advertised popular shows. You can still find prints like this at the Victoria and Albert Museum today. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
