About this work

This print shows a scene from a play. It’s a newspaper clipping with an image of an actor on stage. The print is old—likely from 1875—and it mixes Impressionism and Realism. It’s a small piece, but it captures a famous moment. Samuel Phelps played Falstaff at the Gaiety Theatre. That’s a fun detail for theater fans. Check out more prints by Barnard, F.
