About this work

You see three men in old-fashioned wigs on a bare stage. The man in the middle wears glasses. One holds a scroll. They look stiff and serious. This print shows actors from an old play called *Love in a Village*. The men played silly roles but look proud. Tiny details show the play’s humor. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more stage prints.
