This print shows sheet music for 'The Witches Song' from a production of Macbeth. The song was written for the Witches in Macbeth and was one of the changes made after the Restoration. It was sung by Mrs Clive, an actress who began performing in the 1720s. The use of music and special effects in this production is interesting. You can learn more about this kind of print at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
