This print shows a portrait of Mr. Yates from the Adelphi Theatre. It’s by James Lonsdale and dates to 1826, made as a print rather than paint. The museum calls it “The Late Lamented Frederic Yates.” Romanticism often spotlighted actors and public figures. This one honors a theatre manager who’d just died. The print feels like a keepsake for fans. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
