The Combat in Macbeth (Shakespeare, Macbeth, act 5, scene 8)
Not on view
This print portrays Edmund Kean and Henry Stephen Kemble fighting one another as Macbeth and Macduff in act 5, scene 8 of Shakespeare's play. For a battle that will result in Macbeth's death, the latter wears armor and his opponent a kilt. The print was likely made by George Cruikshank and Isaac Robert Cruikshank (the brothers often collaborated around 1818 on actor portraits and other works, at a moment when Isaac Robert was establishing himself as an independent artist).
