1862
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Dominant colour
H Beard Print Collection is a 1862 by The Illustrated London News, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a scene from the opera *The Lily of Killarney* as it appeared in *The Illustrated London News* in 1862. It’s a landscape print, but the real interest is on the back—articles and ads from the same issue are printed there. That mix of art and everyday print adds up to a time capsule of life in the 1860s. You get the opera on one side and daily chatter on the other. Look up The Illustrated London News next.
