This print shows Sarah Bernhardt playing the Duke of Reichstadt in a play about Napoleon’s son. It’s a portrait meant to look like him, not a real photo. The print came out in 1901 for a magazine called Black & White. Bernhardt was famous for her dramatic stage roles. This image was part of a series that helped her reputation in London. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
