This print shows a man in costume from a play. Boosey & Co made it in 1823. It’s part of the Romanticism movement. The image includes a printed song lyric in Italian. The words mention a purse and French things needing mercy. That’s a fun peek at how plays mixed music and drama back then. Look up Boosey & Co next.
