About this work

This print shows the outside of a fancy opera house in Paris. It was made around the 1800s, not on site but back in London. The artist, Charles Mottram, didn’t sign it—just printed it under Fisher, Son & Co. It’s part of the Harry Beard Collection, so it’s one of many theater prints Beard saved. Small detail, but Fisher’s London address is on the sheet. If you like theater art, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
