About this work

This print shows a young actor in a famous play. Master Betty played Norval in *Douglas* back in 1805. The Romantic era prized emotion and drama, so portrait prints like this often spotlighted rising stars. The image comes from the Harry Beard Collection. It’s one of many prints saved by this theater lover over the years. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
