Print Collection is a 1826 by Daniel Havell, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print from 1826 shows the Surrey Theatre as seen through Romantic eyes. Daniel Havell drew and engraved it, then J. Taylor published it in London. The building sits in a quiet street scene. Havell’s sharp lines and careful shading bring out the theatre’s tower and arched windows. The print captures the place exactly as it looked then.

A hand-colored aquatint print by Daniel Havell, published in London by J. Taylor in 1826, depicts the façade of the Surrey Theatre, with the name rendered as "Surry." The image was both drawn and engraved by Havell.

Daniel Havell spent his life quietly printing books, not signing them. His engravings hum with tiny details—flora, fabrics, faces—so crisp you can almost hear the paper whisper. Flip through the 1826 “Print Collection”…
