About this work

This print by Joseph Mallett from 1826 shows a lively concert scene. It’s a playbill for a morning show at the New Argyll Rooms with stars like Madame Pasta. The crowd buzzed about the sheet music on sale. Romanticism loved drama and feeling. Prints like this let regular folks bring that energy home. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.

Joseph Mallett

Joseph Mallord William Turner kept a window cracked in his London studio for decades, even in winter, so the fog could drift in and blur his paintings.
