This print shows a busy Paris street outside the Vaudeville theater. Carriages and people fill the road. The building’s sign reads “Théâtre du Vaudeville.” This scene captures a night at the theater in the 1800s. People wear top hats, gowns, and capes. The gas lamps glow on wet cobblestones, making shadows stretch long. Check out prints like this at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
