This print shows a famous actor, Samuel Phelps, playing Brutus in *Julius Caesar*. Made in 1846, it was the cover of *Theatrical Times*. The cover also points to an article about him. The odd part? The article calls him “Peter Phelps” even though it’s about Samuel. That mix-up has stayed a mystery. If prints like this intrigue you, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
