12
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 12 by The Illustrated London News, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print cuts from a 1853 issue of The Illustrated London News. It shows actors in Shakespeare’s play, captured right after the show. The image feels quick and lively, like the actors just struck their final pose. It’s a snapshot of theater life in 1850s London. The print mixes sharp details with soft touches, a style that later shaped Impressionism and Realism. Look up The Illustrated London News next.
A 1853 wood-engraved print from *The Illustrated London News* shows Mr Phelps costumed as Bottom and Miss Wyatt as Titania in a staging of *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* at Sadler’s Wells Theatre.
