Artist
Mr. James Parker
Mr. James Parker is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
James Parker made single-sheet prints in late-18th-century London. In April 1795 he etched Mr William Parsons playing Alscrip in the comedy *The Heiress* at Covent Garden. The sheet shows a costumed actor caught between exaggerated gesture and the printed line, catching the moment when Garrick-era theatre still lived on paper. The print survives as a crisp, inked record of a role you can look up today. See how Parker balanced outline and shading in the ruff and coat.
