This print shows a woman in a long dress standing on a dark stage. She holds a white cloth in one hand. A man in a military uniform kneels beside her. The scene comes from the opera *Satanella*, a popular show in the 1800s. The print was made after the opera’s final act. You can still see the stage’s painted backdrop in the background. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this one.
