Charles Daly in 'Whitefriars'

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 a character in Whitefriars. This was probably an adaptation for the stage of Emma Robinson's Whitefriars, or, The Days of Charles the Second: an Historical Romance, a novel published in 1844.
