This print shows a stage scene from a play staged in London in 1827. The play told the story of an Englishman who washes up on an island and meets flying people. The print was made to share the show with people who couldn’t attend. The play mixed comedy, adventure, and fantasy at Covent Garden. It ran one night only and vanished from the stage after that. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
