Mr Palmer as Don John is a 9 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows John Palmer dressed as Don John from Shakespeare’s *Much Ado About Nothing*. He stands in a three-quarter pose, wearing a dark doublet and lace collar. The background is plain, so all focus lands on his face and costume. This is a theater print from 1808. It captures Palmer’s famous stage role, often played as a villain. It was published in London by C. Cooke on January 9, just weeks after the performance. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
