This print shows a man dressed as Mercutio from *Romeo and Juliet*. It’s an etching, a kind of print made with acid on metal. The artist used lines to shade the face and clothes. The print is part of the Harry Beard Collection. It was made in the 19th century but shows a scene from Shakespeare’s play. The print shop John Tallis & Co handled the printing. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
