H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Thomas Hollis, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Ellen and Kate Bateman on stage as Richard III and Richmond. Thomas Hollis made it around the mid-1800s. It’s a print, not a painting, so the lines are crisp and bold. The girls were real siblings playing adult roles in a Shakespeare play. Only one was actually on stage—Kate played Richmond while Ellen played Richard. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
