EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The fiery untamed steed forgets his part, and the curtain unfortunately descends" we are transported back to the 19th century and immersed in the world of Astleys Theatre. The image captures a dramatic moment on stage during a play called "Recollections of Astleys Theatre". As the scene unfolds, an actor portraying a wild horse from Tartary finds himself caught up in the intensity of his role. With untamed energy coursing through its veins, the magnificent steed becomes lost in its character, forgetting that it is merely part of a performance. Unfortunately, fate intervenes at this crucial moment as the curtain abruptly descends upon both actor and horse. This unexpected accident adds an element of realism to the spectacle unfolding before our eyes. The engraving not only showcases the drama and excitement associated with live theater but also highlights the inherent risks involved when working with animals on stage. It serves as a reminder that even within controlled environments like theaters, accidents can occur. This remarkable artwork from English School provides us with a glimpse into historical theatrical practices while capturing our imagination with its portrayal of wildness and unpredictability. It is truly an intriguing piece that invites us to reflect on both human creativity and nature's untamable spirit.
