About this work

This print shows the cast list for a Macbeth show at Windsor Castle on February 4, 1853. Foster & L’Enfant made it around 1853. It’s a small print, not a painting, but it’s still interesting. The play was put on for Queen Victoria. That’s why it’s in the Victoria and Albert Museum today. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Foster & L'Enfant

Foster and L’Enfant were two friends in 1850s London who spent months sketching sheep in the pasture at Battersea Park, then carved the drawings onto wood blocks so they could print the lines in thousands of cheap, portable prints.
