1850
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Honoré Daumier, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a print of a theater scene. The print shows a lot of action and drama. It was first printed in a French newspaper called Le Charivari, which is interesting because it shows how art was shared with the public back then. The artist used simple lines and textures to create the scene, which is similar to the style of artist: Daumier, Honoré.
The lithograph titled *La cinquième acte à la Gaîté* by Honoré Daumier was reproduced in the French newspaper *Le Charivari* in 1850.
