This print shows an actress named Mrs. Nisbett playing a role in a play called Zarah. It’s a hand-colored etching, so the color was added after printing. The caption under the picture is a line from the play: “Hark to the cry of their days - already have they opened on the scent of blood.” If you like prints with strong costume detail, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
