This 1804 print shows a man in costume—likely a stage actor playing a role. J. Roach turned the image into a hand-engraved portrait. It belongs to the Romantic era, when prints often captured famous faces. Master Betty was a child star of London’s stage. This print lets us peek at his 1804 stage role as Osman. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
