This print shows a big theater building from 1758. It’s an etching, so ink was cut into metal and pressed onto paper. The building has three floors with a row of windows along the top. A man and woman stand in front standing out front. They wear clothes from the mid-1700s. The theater looks sturdy, with a circular window high up on each visible side. Check out prints by T.B. next.
