About this work

This print shows a lively scene from a ballet staged in London in 1846. It’s an etching by Smyth, made to look like a crowded inn where people in old-fashioned clothes gather around a woman playing a guitar-like instrument. She’s dressed in Tudor-style clothes, complete with a scarf tied around her waist. The men around her seem to be reacting to the music. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
