H Beard Print Collection is a 25 by The Illustrated London News, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print comes from The Illustrated London News. It’s a page from a magazine dated April 25, 1914, packed with text and images. It reviews possible stage designs for Wagner’s Ring operas. It also lists all Wagner operas at Covent Garden that season. Two portraits of Johannes Sembach in costume appear front and center. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for similar prints.
The page from an Illustrated Review presents proposed set designs for Wagner's opera *The Ring*, alongside a schedule of all Wagner operas being performed in the new season at Covent Garden. The programme includes two portraits of Johannes Sembach, depicted as Siegmund in *Die Walküre* and as Lohengrin in the titular role. On the reverse, four images of the Hôtel de Ville are printed, two of which are clipped.
