Watercolour sketch created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably The Penny Illustrated Press. It is captioned 'Cinderella at Hippodrome, Going to the Ball' and shows the lavish coach in which Cinderella made her way to the palace and dramatic procession which preceded it.
The sketch was drawn by A.J.Finberg in 1900 and has been signed and dated by the artist in the bottom left hand corner.
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.
