1794
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Print Collection is a 1794 by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a busy night at Covent Garden Theatre. Actors bow on stage while the crowd watches. The boxes and boxes above are full of people in fancy clothes. Rowlandson loved showing real places and people. He caught the mix of glamour and chaos here. The faces look quick and lively, like he sketched them fast. Look up Rowlandson, Thomas next.
The print *Covent Garden Theatre*, published by Thomas Rowlandson on 1 January 1794, is a black and white engraving depicting the interior of Covent Garden Theatre’s auditorium, focusing on the boxes during a performance.
