This is a print from 1790 showing a man in costume. It’s a portrait of Mr. Fearon as Captain Driver from a play called Oroonoko. He was printed during the Romantic era, when artists liked drama and feeling. The play was about freedom and rebellion, themes that fit Romanticism. Prints like this were often sold to fans of the theater. It’s a snapshot of popular culture from the time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints.
