This print shows an actor named Mr. T. P. Cooke playing Jack Sykes. It’s part of a series about Nelson at Drury Lane Theatre. The print was made in London by G. Madeley. The actor’s pose hints at drama and emotion. That fits the Romantic style of the 1830s–40s. Look next at prints by the same artist, Wageman, Thomas Charles.
