About this work

This print shows a theater in London from 1809. It’s a city view we don’t see every day. The artist J. Pitt made it, and it’s not just any print—it’s part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection. Why print it? Because theaters change fast. This one shows how Covent Garden looked over 200 years ago. That’s the fun of old prints: they freeze a moment in time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
