John Kilby Green – The Portraits
Photograph of the
original Zinc Plate No.9 Mr Yates as Red Rover – Original at Pollock’s Toy

Green produced many theatrical portraits, but only a small number appear to have survived.
Green numbered his portraits, however the number sequences he used do not follow a definite pattern.
