About this work

The print is titled H Beard Print Collection, created by Edwards in 1777. It's a portrait of two actors, Mr Garrick and Miss Younge, in a scene from a play called Zara. This play was likely a significant work, given the attention to detail in the print, and the fact that it's held at a major museum suggests it has historical value. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this print, and to learn more about similar works, look up the movement: Romanticism.
