This print shows two lovers from Shakespeare’s play, set in a forest. It’s part of a larger collection made by a printing company in London. The print was published in both London and New York. It’s tied to Romanticism, a movement that often focused on emotion and nature. The scene comes from Act II, Scene 2 of *A Midsummer Night’s Dream*.
