This print by S. Begg helped stage *Götterdämmerung*. It shows four scenes from Wagner’s opera in corners around a big center picture. The reverse side has an article on using waves for power. Begg published this in *The Illustrated London News* in 1903. It’s a set design, not a painting, so don’t look for brushstrokes. One small corner even hints at wartime themes, though that’s not the main point. If you like stage art, check out Begg, S.
