This print by T. Jones pokes fun at London’s theatre scene in 1824. It shows Covent Garden and Drury Lane squaring off, like rivals in a game. The joke is on their managers, who fought over who could put on more shows. It’s a sharp look at how theatres tried to grab every ticket. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
