This print shows two actors mid-performance. Miss Ellen Terry and Mr. Henry Irving star as Beatrice and Benedick in a famous Shakespeare play. It’s a print, so it’s one of many copies made from an original image. The caption quotes Benedick saying, “I love you with all my heart—isn’t that strange.” It’s a snapshot of 19th-century theater, frozen in ink on paper. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
