This print shows Sadler’s Wells Theatre from the street in the late 1800s. The building looks plain but busy, with carriages and people walking by. Lanterns glow outside, lighting up the brick façade. Sadler’s Wells started as a 17th-century entertainment spot. By the late 1800s it ran plays and early ballet shows. This print is one of many made to advertise the place. Find it in person at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
