Print, Odeon Theater, Paris

This is a Print. It is dated 1820 and we acquired it in 1938. Its medium is engraving with etching on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

The Odeon Theater (architects: Antoine Peyre and Charles de Wailly) was inaugurated in 1783. Many changes of name, management, and companies, along with the vicissitudes of the French Revolution, contribute to confused early history, but its exterior appearance has remained virtually unchanged to this day.

This object was bequest of Erskine Hewitt. It is credited Bequest of Erskine Hewitt.

Its dimensions are

Platemark: 22.7 × 28.6 cm (8 15/16 × 11 1/4 in.) H x W: 27.4 × 41.8 cm (10 13/16 × 16 7/16 in.)
