About this work

This print shows the grand opening of a Paris theater in 1847. It’s a newspaper cutting from *The Illustrated London News*. The scene captures Parisian life and new buildings. Romanticism loved drama and emotion. This print fits that style with its lively crowd and bold event. The paper was part of a weekly news magazine. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
