You see a black-and-white print of a Victorian theatre. The New Prince of Wales’s Theatre in Liverpool stands in the center. A crowd fills the street outside. This isn’t a grand painting—it’s a quick news sketch. Papers like this printed theatre scenes right after shows ended. It’s a snapshot of 1860s nightlife. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of these prints.
