Mr. Kean in the Character of Macbeth
Not on view
Meyer's stipple engraving reproduces a portrait by Harlow that shows the actor Edmund Kean as Macbeth, a role performed at London’s Theatre Drury Lane in 1814. Kean became a celebrity that season and his nuanced style of acting is here suggested. Between 1810 and 1820 Meyer made over 200 prints of actors, writers and leaders of British society published in "Contemporary Portraits" and the "New Monthly Magazine."
