Drawing

Pen and ink illustration created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably The Penny Illustrated Press. It shows a series of scenes from a production of The Lord Harry at Princess's Theatre starring Mr Wilson Barrett (1846-1904) and Mr E.S. Willard (1853-1915). The sketch is not dated or signed, but a production of The Lord Harry, written by Henry Arthur Jones (1851-1929) in collaboration with Wilson Barrett, and starring Barrett and Willard, was staged at the Princess's Theatre in 1886.

This item is one of several theatrical drawings from a collection of sketches commissioned from contemporary artists to be printed in illustrated magazines. The collection was donated to the museum by Sir William James Ingram in 1914.
