This print shows a big theater inside and out. Made around the late 1700s, it’s a single sheet of paper with ink—no fancy layers or blended tones. It was printed by Robert Sayer & Co. in London and sold to folks who wanted a fancy view of the Bordeaux theatre without traveling there. Next time you’re in London, swing by the Victoria and Albert Museum and ask for the H Beard Print Collection.
