This print shows Helen Faucit playing Hermione in Shakespeare’s *The Winter’s Tale*. It’s a 1857 engraving by Frederic William Burton, caught between Impressionism and Realism. Burton used a printmaking technique to capture the moment, not paint. The publisher was P. & D. Colnaghi, and the sheet is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
