About this work

This print shows a scene from a play called *The Basoche*. It features Esther Palliser in a role meant for the stage. The artist, Alfred Ellis, made it in the late 1800s. Ellis based the print on his own photo of Palliser. That’s how we know the two works line up. Check out more of Ellis’s photos next at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
