This print shows London’s New Theatre Royal in 1822. It’s a quiet scene, all straight lines and shadows on brick. The artist was Robert Blemmell Schnebbelie, an English painter who made prints as well as paintings. The print was one of many in a big collection owned by H. Beard. It’s part of the Romantic movement, which liked dramatic light and old buildings. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
