You see a man in fancy 14th-century robes standing with one hand on his hip. His face looks serious. The print is in black and white. This is a portrait of an actor playing Henry Bolingbroke. Henry Bolingbroke was a real English king. The print shows how actors dressed for Shakespeare’s plays. Look for more prints like this at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
