EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Burning of the Exeter Theatre" takes us back to a fateful night in 19th-century England. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, vividly captures the chaos and devastation that unfolded on that ill-fated evening. Intriguingly detailed, this image showcases both the interior and exterior of the theatre. From its grand architecture to its ornate gallery stairs and pay box, every element is meticulously depicted. However, what truly grabs our attention is the destructive force of fire ravaging through the building. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can almost feel the panic and desperation that must have engulfed those present during this tragic event. Flames lick at doorways while smoke billows ominously from windows. The once vibrant theater now stands as a haunting silhouette against an eerie backdrop.

It invites us to reflect on history's tragedies while appreciating our own fortune in escaping such devastating events.
