This print shows an actor playing Cassius in Shakespeare’s *Julius Caesar*. Richard Lane made it in 1839 during the Romantic era. It’s a portrait of James Prescott Warde dressed for the stage. The print was published by J. Mitchell the same year. That’s unusual—most theatre prints came out after the run ended. It shows how fast fans wanted keepsakes. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see it.
