The print is titled H Beard Print Collection, created by Hogg and Co in 1805. It's interesting that this work is an engraved portrait of an actor, which was a common practice at the time. The fact that it's a portrait of Master Betty as Hamlet adds a layer of context to the print. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
