James-Warren Child

James-Warren Child made lithographs for 19th-century London ballet scenes and sheet music covers. You can spot prints like Flora Fabbri (facsimile signature) / as Mazourka in the ballet of the Devil to Pay (1846) and H Beard Print Collection (1845), which show dancers and orchestras in crisp, black-and-white detail. These prints sit right on the border between theatre ephemera and early pop art. Tap Untitled (1848) to see another crisp sheet from the same corner of the print trade.
