About this work

This print shows the final scene from Linda di Chamouni as staged at Her Majesty's Theatre. It’s an 1848 engraving by Smyth, part of The Illustrated London News. A theater review on the back page shares the same date—May 27, 1848—so you can read both the picture and the critics’ words together. Take a look at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
