This print shows a full-length portrait of an actor named Mr. Edmund Kean dressed as the Shakespearean king Richard III. It was made in London by W. S. Johnson between 1846 and 1890. Edmund Kean was a famous Romantic-era actor known for intense, dramatic performances. This print captures him in that style, part of a larger collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Look up the Romanticism movement next.
