This print shows a scene from Wagner’s opera *Die Walküre*. It’s a portrait of two performers in costume, Madame Lillian Tree as Brünnhilde and Mr. David Bispham as Wotan. The print was published in *The Illustrated London News* on October 26, 1895. It mixes Impressionist and Realist styles, typical of the era’s opera coverage. The text-heavy page behind it hints at reviews or program notes from the Covent Garden performance. Check out Wagner’s *Die Walküre* next.
