H Beard Print Collection is a 1816 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a stage performance from 1816. Two dancers in flowing costumes leap in mid-air. Behind them, painted scenery frames them like a tiny world. The show was called "Paulo and the Infant Prodigy." It played at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London. The print is one of the few records we have of this short-lived act. If you like British theatre history, check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A hand-coloured lithograph from 1816 depicts a performance of *Paulo and the Infant Prodigy* at Sadler’s Wells, part of the Harry Beard Collection. The print captures a scene from the entertainment at the London theatre during that year.
