This is a set of eight comic-style prints. They show funny moments from theater life. The artist used simple lines to make the jokes clear. The prints belong to a larger collection. They’re titled “Theatrical Phrases.” This gives a hint about the humor—probably inside jokes for actors and audiences. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like these.
