This print shows a character from Milton’s poem “Comus.” It’s an old engraving by Jean Marie Delattre, made around 1790. The style fits the Romantic era, full of drama and feeling. The scene comes from Act 3 of the poem. That’s where the hero fights the villain Comus to save his sister. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
