A print of Elizabeth Farren as Hermia in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. She is shown as if rising from sleep. This is a plate to John Bell's edition of Shakespeare. The publication line has been trimmed from this impression, but other impressions give a date of publication of 5 August 1785.
