H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Frank Craig, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a dramatic moment from *La Bohème* on stage. Musetta bursts in to tell Rodolfo that Mimi is dying. The work was made by Frank Craig around 1906. It’s based on a real 1906 issue of *The Graphic* in London. The scene captures opera’s raw emotion in a single frame. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The print depicts a scene from La Bohème performed at Covent Garden, where Musetta interrupts a dance by students to inform Rodolfo of Mimi’s impending death. It is a page from *The Graphic* dated June 16, 1906, and part of the Harry Beard Collection.
