This print shows London’s Royal Theatre and Athenæum as they looked in 1832. Thomas Allom carved the scene in an etching. The Romantic movement often picked dramatic views of modern life. The print sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum today. It records a busy moment when theatres mixed with shops and homes. Look up the artist Thomas Allom next.
