Untitled
Mr Charles Dillon as Hamlet
A Chinese Barber
The Stocking-Maker

The London Printing and Publishing Company is a Romanticism artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

These prints from the early 1800s show everyday scenes and actors on stage, carved as engravings rather than paintings. Look for A Chinese Barber, where the razor glints in candlelight, or The Stocking-Maker hunched over a loom, both tiny stories in ink. If you want to see 19th-century London meet the stage, tap Mr Charles Dillon as Hamlet—his dagger raised, crowds leaning in.
