This print shows an actor named Robert Elliston playing Falstaff, a big character from Shakespeare’s plays. It comes from a group of prints called the H Beard Print Collection. John William Gear made it around 1826, right in the Romantic period. That was a time when artists liked drama and strong emotions. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
