Print Collection is a 1958 by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a scene from a theatre. The theatre has a lot of details, like balconies and a big stage. It looks like a lot of work went into building it, which is interesting because the provenance note says the theatre was still being finished when it reopened. You can learn more about this kind of print at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A set of four lithographed prints from 1858 depicts different views of the Royal Italian Opera House at Covent Garden after its 1858 reconstruction. The images include the Crush Room, the Auditorium, the Exterior, and the Interior of Floral Hall. The prints were produced shortly after the theatre’s reopening on 15 May 1858 with Meyerbeer’s *Les Huguenots*. The designs reflect the grandeur of the newly completed opera house, as noted in contemporary accounts.
