This print shows actors Charles and Mrs. Kean playing roles on stage. It’s one of many prints in a collection called the H Beard Print Collection. The picture marks a night at Theatre Royal Haymarket in January of 1848. The print itself came out three months later, in April. It’s part of British Romantic art, which often showed dramatic scenes and strong emotion. You can see it at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
