This print shows Madame Vestris dressed as the Greek god Apollo, made in London around the 1830s. It’s a hand‑colored tinsel print, a flashy print style meant to catch the eye. The sheet is framed and lives at the Victoria and Albert. The artist duo M. & M. Skelt published it, part of a whole collection of prints. Romanticism loved drama like this—big gestures, bright colors, myth in everyday clothes. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints from this collection.
