Edward Alleyn shows up in this 1792 print by Nugent. It’s a portrait, not a painting—just ink on paper. Published months after Alleyn died, it keeps his face alive. Romantic artists loved dramatic figures and strong emotion. This print fits that trend, even late in the day. It copies a famous Elizabethan actor long after his time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
