About this work

This print shows actors on stage—a man and woman in a play from 1776. It’s a snapshot of a night at the theater, caught in ink and paper. The scene comes from a real play called *The Suspicious Husband*. The actors are famous faces of the time, but the print freezes their moment forever. Want to see more? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
