H Beard Print Collection is a 19 by Smyth, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a moment from Verdi’s opera *Il Trovatore* on stage. It’s a black-and-white image, not a painting—just ink on paper. The scene was meant to go with news about the Royal Italian Opera in London. The fun detail? The page next to the opera scene had news and even a review of the same show. Turn it over and you’d find birth announcements and stock market reports instead. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
A printed page from the Illustrated London News includes a scene from Verdi's *Il Trovatore* performed at the Royal Italian Opera on page 496, accompanied on the reverse by articles and a review from page 495, with an engraving of G. F. Hurlstone's painting *A Neapolitan Fisher-Boy* above the opera scene.
