H Beard Print Collection is a 1 by John Winston, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows two views of a famous London theatre. The top view is the inside after big changes in 1794. The bottom view is the outside from the square before fire destroyed it in 1808. John Winston made the print in 1819, long after the fire. It’s one of the few pictures that show how the theatre looked inside and out. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The print presents two colored views of the Theatre Royal Covent Garden: an interior view of the remodeled theatre before its opening on September 15, 1794, and an exterior view of the original entrance from the Piazza, which was destroyed by fire on September 20, 1808.
