This print shows a scene from Balfe’s opera *The Puritan’s Daughter*. It’s a press cutting from *The Illustrated Times*, made around 1861. The print mixes Impressionism and Realism, two art movements of the time. The scene comes straight from a popular opera, printed for people to read at home. It’s a snapshot of theater culture in 1861. That’s cool—it turns a play into a print. Look up *The Illustrated Times*.
