EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a dramatic moment in history through an exquisite engraving by the English School from the 19th century. This print, now part of a private collection, showcases the devastating fire that engulfed the iconic theatre on September 10,1887. The image provides a haunting glimpse into both the interior and exterior of this grand establishment. The burning interiors are vividly portrayed, showcasing the chaos and destruction that unfolded within its walls. The flames dance menacingly as they consume everything in their path, while billowing smoke fills every corner. Outside, onlookers gather in shock and disbelief as they witness this tragic event unfold before their eyes. The streets surrounding the theatre become a stage for despair and panic as people scramble to safety amidst crumbling architecture. The detailed depiction allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor of Theatre Royal but also its various levels such as dress circle - now reduced to ashes. It serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly something cherished can be lost forever. This engraving is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates an important historical event that shook Exeter to its core. Through this image, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one of Exeter's most significant tragedies – forever etched into memory through artistry and skillful storytelling.
