About this work

This print shows London’s Drury Lane Theatre from the stage during a play in 1804. It’s one of the few images we have of that famous stage in action. Richard Phillips published it the same day he made it. That quick turnaround meant news of the latest shows could reach the public fast. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
