About this work

This print shows a man named Monsieur Mazurier dressed for a stage role. The outfit hints at Punchinello, a classic comic character. Prints like this often shared theater scenes with the public. In the 1800s, prints let regular people own images from popular plays. The V&A keeps thousands of these theater prints safe. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more.
