About this work

This print shows a scene from early 1800s London. It’s a satirical take on an Italian singer, Signor Veluti, who was famous but mocked for his personal life. The crowd in the picture teases him for being a castrato with many affairs. The sheet music in the scene hints at his career. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
