This print copies a portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence, a British painter known for elegant portraits. The original drawing was made around 1815 for Fanny Kemble, an actress from a famous acting family. The print was made later, around 1890, using a photo-gravure process by George Meisenbach. That’s a way to turn photos into prints using ink and plates. See more work by Thomas Lawrence at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
