<p>In an age before photography, an artist’s fame, influence, and fortune were dependent on engraved reproductions that were distributed and sold on the international market. These reproductive engravings were made by skilled craftspeople, who ideally worked closely with the artist.<br>A brilliant self-promoter, Fuseli had precise ideas about what he wanted from an engraver. He found his greatest collaborator in Moses Haughton, who lived in Fuseli’s house from 1803–19, producing some of the finest prints after Fuseli’s paintings, including <em>The Nursery of Shakespeare</em>.</p>
