About this work

This is a print from the 19th century by artist And. Gill. It’s a color print, likely pulled from an old newspaper or magazine called 'Le Théatre Moderne.' Prints were often shared this way in the 1800s. This one may have been clipped right out of a publication, not made as a stand-alone artwork. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next time you’re in London.
