This is a 1902 drawing by Frederick Victor Poole. It’s a press illustration, printed in a magazine. The sketch shows scenes from a show called *Paris in London* at Earl’s Court. It was one of many theater-style drawings made for illustrated papers. The artist signed and dated it in the corner. Later, the whole group was donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Wonder what these events looked like in print? Look up The Penny Illustrated Press.
