Michael Strogoff
In March 1881 Beverly provided the scenery for "Michael Strogoff" (Henry James Byron) at the Adelphi Theatre. In this play still-life accessories were, for the first time on the British stage, harmonised with the background, after the manner of the French cycloramas. At the same house in March 1883 he painted for the "Storm-beaten" of Robert Williams Buchanan, and in the October following for the opera of "Rip Van Winkle" at the Royal Comedy Theatre.
