This print shows Emilia Tosi on stage at the King Theatre during the Pavia Carnival in 1839. Her portrait was pressed by Basilio Pampuri, then printed in Milan by Vassalli. It’s one of many prints kept at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The museum dates it to the mid-1800s, so it’s over 180 years old. Look next at prints by Basilio, Pampuri.
