This drawing shows a series of scenes from a costume pageant. The pageant was part of a bigger event to celebrate Queen Victoria's silver jubilee. It's interesting that these sketches were made for a newspaper or magazine, which is how people back then got to see what was happening in the world. You can see more drawings like this one using the technique of cross-hatching.
