This print is from The Illustrated London News, published on July 13th, 1867. It's interesting because it shows a scene from a performance at the Royal Italian Opera, which was a significant event at the time. The fact that it was published in a news outlet suggests it was meant to inform and entertain the general public. You can learn more about this type of art at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
