Place of origin

Print showing a series of scense from The Royal Victoria Coffee Palace and Music Hall. The original images which show both the interior of the theatre and the cafe, were drawn by G. Durand (an artist whose illustration frequently featured in the newspaper, "The Graphic" in the late nineteenth century), and have been signed by Durand in the bottom left hand corner.

As the text at the base of the print states, they were reproduced in this grouping in 1956 as a souvenir of the Diamond Jubilee of The Gallery and First Nighter's Club (founded 1896).
