About this work

This print from 1877 shows a portrait of Richard Wagner. It’s a caricature called *The Music of the Future*. The artist used bold lines to poke fun at the composer’s ideas. Wagner’s wild hair and bold stance stand out. The print was published in Vanity Fair, a popular magazine back then. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
