This print shows Sadler’s Wells theatre as it changed over time. Robert Wilkinson made it in 1814 but based the views on older drawings from 1792 and before 1765. One image shows the southwest side, the other shows the theatre in its earlier shape. Wilkinson published these two views in London. He reused prints from earlier decades and turned them into new plates. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
