This print shows a scene from Faust, with Mephistopheles in Hell. The production was a big success, running for three years. It helped launch George Alexander's career and was part of Henry Irving's time as Actor-Manager at the Lyceum. The print is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of theater history.
