Design for A Midsummer Night's Dream: Palace of Theseus, London, Princess Theatre, circa 1856.
From a collection of 88 drawings of scenery for Charles Kean's productions of Shakespearian and other plays, probably at the Princess's Theatre London, 1848-1859. Record copies made for the producer, after the original designs by F. Lloyds. Charles Kean greatly developed the elaboration of Victoriam stage sets, as seen here.
