H Beard Print Collection is a 1824 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows the inside of London’s Royal Amphitheatre. Wooden benches rise in curved rows around a small stage. Gaslights glow on the walls. It’s part of a five-page booklet from 1824 called *Edifices of London – Theatres*. The artist made this to show off the amphitheatre’s fancy design. Most prints from this series are lost. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more old theatre prints.
The booklet consists of five pages documenting the Royal Amphitheatre in Westminster Bridge, with an introductory page featuring an interior view of the venue followed by four pages of text authored by C. Dibdin. Part of the series *Edifices of London - Theatres*, it appears in the publication *History and Illustrations of the London Theatres* by Charles Dibdin, Jun., which includes historical and descriptive accounts of several London theatres.
