H Beard Print Collection is a 1860 by The Illustrated Times, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a scene from Verdi’s opera at the Royal Italian Opera. It’s a 1860 print from The Illustrated Times, made right in the middle of the 1800s. The fun extra detail? The back of this print has a clipped review from the same paper. So it’s like a mini scrapbook page. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The print depicts a scene from Verdi’s opera *Il Ballo in Maschera* as staged at the Royal Italian Opera, reproduced from a cutting of *The Illustrated Times*. The image appears alongside various clippings, including a review of the performance, on the reverse side of the newspaper sheet.
