This print shows actors in scenes from Antony and Cleopatra, lifted straight from the 1890 Illustrated London News. Fred Pegram carved and inked the scenes, mixing Impressionist blur with Realist detail. The play’s big drama—romance, betrayal, battles—is all here in black and white. It’s a snapshot of Victorian theatre, caught on paper. Head next to the Victoria and Albert Museum.
