Drawing

Pen and ink illustration created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably The Penny Illustrated Press. It shows The Austrian Conduction Emil Paur (1855-1932) conducting Tschaikowsky's Symphony "Pathétique"' at one of the Sunday afternoon concerts at Queen's Hall, upper Regent Street.

It is not signed, or dated but annotation on the rear indicates that it was drawn by the artist Dudley Cleaver.

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.
