Frédéric de Haenen made this print in 1914. It’s a page from an illustrated review. One side shows an artist painting scenery for a Wagner opera at Covent Garden. The other side has a story about German opera at the same place and singer portraits. The print came out just weeks before the February 1914 Parsifal run. That’s unusual timing—right before opening night. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
