This print shows the stage setup for a play in 1826. It’s a black-and-white image, made to advertise or remember the show. The scene is from Act III of a ballet called Moulin de l’Etang. The artist, B. Petit, worked in the Romantic style. That means the print likely uses dramatic lighting and emotional mood. If stage prints catch your eye, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
