This print shows two portraits on opposite sides, one of John Hare and the other of Mr and Mrs Kendal in a scene from The Squire. The portraits are from 1879 and were printed in a souvenir booklet about the St. James's Theatre. This booklet documented the theatre's history from 1835 to 1900, making the print a interesting piece of theatre history.
