Charles Daly in 'Rob Roy'

From an album of theatrical portraits compiled by the actor (later actor-manager) Charles Daly. Amongst many better known celebrities of the stage, the album contains nearly twenty portraits showing Daly himself dressed as various characters in popular successes of the day.

According to an inked inscription on the album page, this particular portrait shows Daly as the character 'Mr Stuart' in a production of the perennial favourite Rob Roy, an adaption of Sir Walter Scott's novel variously described as an 'Operatic Drama,' a 'Musical Play' and a 'favourite musical drama.'
