EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the inside of the Dukes Theatre in London, circa 1820. Engraved by Richard Sawyer, this remarkable piece of art showcases the intricate details of the theater's interior. The image transports us to a world where actors once graced the stage, bringing stories to life through their performances. The grandeur and elegance of the theater are evident in every corner, from its ornate walls adorned with beautiful artwork to its meticulously designed set pieces. One cannot help but imagine the bustling atmosphere that must have filled this space during a performance. The anticipation before the curtains rose, as actors prepared backstage for their moment in the spotlight. The audience eagerly awaiting a night filled with laughter, drama, and perhaps even tears. It is worth noting that this engraving is based on a plate depicting a Prison Scene from Elkanah Settles' play "The Empress of Morocco" dating back to 1673. This connection adds an extra layer of historical significance to this already mesmerizing piece. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been able to transport us into different worlds and evoke emotions within our souls. This print captures not only an architectural masterpiece but also preserves moments from history when theaters were at their peak popularity - places where dreams were realized and imaginations soared high above those velvet seats.
