The print is titled 'H Beard Print Collection' and was created by Jean Baptiste Guth in 1898. It's a portrait of Benoït Constant Coquelin, taken from Vanity Fair. This was part of a series called 'Men of the Day', which featured notable people. The fact that it was published in a magazine like Vanity Fair suggests that the subject was well-known at the time.
