About this work

This print shows Covent Garden Theatre in 1810. It’s an etching by J. Bluck, not a painting. Published on the very first day of that year, it comes from London’s print shops. The print captures a new, lively moment. It’s one of the earliest pictures of the rebuilt theatre. You can almost hear the crowds and smell the ink.
