Here’s a quick look at this print. It shows the New Theatre Royal in Cork, captured in 1867 by the *Illustrated London News*. The print is part of the Harry Beard Collection, kept at the Victoria and Albert Museum. This wasn’t just art—it was news. The *Illustrated London News* printed it right away, so people could see the theater’s design as it stood then. If you like this, check out the *Illustrated London News* as a door next.
