This print shows an actor, John Philip Kemble, playing Orestes in a 1700s play. The artist Henry Moses made it in 1807 as a portrait print, not a scene from real life. It’s part of the Harry Beard Collection. The print was made for publisher C. Cook on one specific date: April 20, 1807. It belongs to the Romantic movement, meaning it likely focuses on emotion and drama. Want to see more Romantic prints? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
