This print shows two actors on stage. It was made in the 1890s and uses print techniques common in that era. The image captures a moment from a play. The actors are Wilson Barrett and Maud Jeffries. They appear as characters named Marcus Superbus and Mercia in Act III Scene IV of “The Sign of the Cross.” The play was popular in late 1800s London. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
