This painting shows a seating plan for the Royal Adelphi Theatre. It's a simple print, but what's interesting is that it was possibly used as an advertisement for the theatre. The details of the seats and the layout are carefully drawn, which suggests that the theatre wanted to show off its space. You can learn more about this kind of print at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
