About this work

This print shows a woman named Mrs. Cibber from 1749. It’s a small portrait, done as a print, not a painting. The work was made under rules set by Parliament that year. The date matters. Prints were published “according to Act of Parliament” in October 1749. That was unusual at the time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
