About this work

This is a print of Leeds’ Queen’s Theatre from 1898. James Akerman made it during a time when artists mixed Impressionism and Realism. The theater was a big deal in the city then. Prints like this were cheap and easy to share. They let people see places they couldn’t visit. This one shows how the theater looked in the late 1800s. Look up Akerman, James next.
