Regency actors in costume in the green room. A knight in armour smashes a mirror with his sword, Falstaff laughs. The Green Room at Brilliant Shore Theatre. Proteus in Hotspur. A palpable hit. A fine rather too expensive for the manager’s taste. Handcoloured engraving etched by Theodore Lane from Pierce Egan’s The Life of an Actor, Pickering and Chatto, London, 1892.
