Romeo and Juliet is a 1884 by The Entr'acte, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Ellen Terry and Henry Irving reacting to a rival’s Juliet. The Entr’acte published it on November 9, 1884 to mock Terry’s upset over another actress’s success. It was printed in black and white and held at the Victoria and Albert Museum later. The image pokes fun at Terry’s real-life irritation after opening night. Irving looks calm while Terry reacts strongly to the news. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
