This print shows two singers on stage in a famous opera scene. It’s from 1831, part of a series called “Sketches of the Musical World.” Printed by Thomas McLean, it captures a night at the opera on July 14th. It’s a Romanticism print, which often focused on emotion and drama. This one freezes a moment from *La Prova d’un Opera Seria* with Madame Pasta and Luigi Lablache. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
