The print is titled H Beard Print Collection, created by William Dawes in 1763. This print is interesting because it depicts a famous actor, David Garrick, as a character from a play. The fact that it's an allegory suggests that the image may have symbolic meanings beyond the literal scene. You can learn more about this style by exploring the movement: Romanticism.
