About this work

This print from 1892 advertises an opera at Covent Garden. It was made by Oliver Paque, who mixed Impressionism and Realism in his work. The image shows sheet music linked to Mascagni’s opera *L’Amico Fritz*. The print is small but packed with detail—you’ll spot ads for the show plus unrelated text on the back. It’s a slice of 1890s London theater life, saved by the Victoria and Albert Museum. Next, look up the artist Paque, Oliver.
