The Pit Door / La Porte du Parterre, November 9,1784 - A Glimpse into the Chaotic Drama of 18th Century London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white mezzotint print takes us back to a moment of mayhem and excitement in the heart of London. Created by Robert Dighton the Elder, it captures the scene outside Drury Lane Theatre on November 9,1784. The image showcases a bustling crowd gathered around "The Pit Door" eagerly awaiting entrance to witness a command performance. The chaos is palpable as people jostle for position and vie for cheap seats. Amidst this sea of faces, we catch sight of renowned performer Mrs. Siddons - Sarah Kemble Siddons herself - adding an air of anticipation to the atmosphere. The artist skillfully portrays the pandemonium that ensues when such esteemed performers take center stage. The concept behind this artwork is not only to depict a specific location but also to capture the essence of British theater culture during this era. As we observe this historical snapshot from over two centuries ago, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what it was like to be part of such an electrifying audience at Drury Lane Theatre. This print serves as a testament to both the enduring allure of live performances and our fascination with capturing moments frozen in time. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come.
