The print is titled H Beard Print Collection, created by De Wilde in 1813. It's a portrait of Miss Bolton as Ophelia from Hamlet. This character is from a famous play, which makes the print interesting. The fact that it's an engraved portrait also tells us about the techniques used back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
