About this work

This print shows a man named Barton Booth in a portrait. Made around 1800 by J. Hinton, it’s a print on paper—not a painting—so it uses ink and lines instead of brush strokes. The Victoria and Albert Museum keeps the original in London. The artist copied Booth’s face with careful shading and detail, typical of prints from that time. Portraits like this often helped people remember someone who mattered, like an actor or public figure. Want to see more Romantic-era prints? Look up Romanticism.
