This print shows Westminster Abbey packed with people in 1784. They’re there for a Handel concert that remembers the composer. The artist captured the crowd’s buzz in a print, not a painting. The sheet music on stands proves Handel’s music filled the space. Next time you’re in London, pop into the Victoria and Albert Museum to see the print up close.
