EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases H. W. Betty, also known as "The Infant Roscius" a renowned child actor of the 19th century. The image captures Betty's direct gaze, exuding confidence and charisma beyond his years. Dressed in elegant attire with a collar and cravat, he epitomizes the style of the era. Taken from Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" this engraving offers a glimpse into the life of this British celebrity who became famous for his exceptional talent at such a young age. Betty was hailed as the "Young Roscius of Ampthill Square" in Camden, North London. His remarkable performances on stage earned him widespread acclaim throughout Britain. This oval-shaped portrait framed within an ornate frame adds to its historical charm. As we admire this monochrome depiction, it is fascinating to ponder how Betty captivated audiences with his acting prowess during an era when child prodigies were rare in entertainment circles. This photograph serves as a testament to Betty's enduring legacy as one of the most celebrated actors of his time. Preserved by Heritage Images, this image allows us to appreciate not only Betty's individuality but also provides insight into 19th-century theatre culture and society in general.
