About this work

This print shows a trial scene from a stage version of The Merchant of Venice. It was published in a London newspaper called The Graphic in 1883. The print is black-and-white and looks like a regular newspaper page. What’s cool is the print comes with two newspaper reviews pasted underneath. Those cuttings let you read what critics thought right after the show. If you like this print, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
