This is a hand-colored print from 1832 showing a stage actor named Mr. Gomersall as a character called Earl Douglas. The print is one of many meant to promote theater in London. Romanticism loved this stuff—big emotions, famous roles, bold prints. The print is extra special because it was colored by hand, not printed. That detail makes each copy a little different. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
