H Beard Print Collection is a 4 by The Graphic, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a big fire in Paris on June 4, 1887. The fire destroyed the Opéra Comique. It was front page news for the weekly paper The Graphic. The paper used bold pictures to tell stories. People at the time loved this mix of art and news. The Graphic was known for sharp, dramatic prints. Look up the technique called chiaroscuro next.
