EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fortune Theatre, (c1872). This print takes us back to the 17th century, showcasing the iconic Fortune Playhouse in Golden Lane, just outside the City of London. Founded around 1600, this historic theater witnessed a tumultuous history filled with riots and assaults. In fact, it even incurred a hefty fine of £1000 for daring to depict a religious ceremony on its stage in 1639. However, despite its popularity and significance as an entertainment hub, the Puritan Parliament suppressed The Fortune Playhouse in 1642. By the time of the Restoration, this once grand building had fallen into disrepair and was partially collapsed. Ultimately demolished in 1660, it left behind only memories of its former glory. The image captures not only the architectural beauty of The Fortune Theatre but also provides insight into life during that era. It stands as a testament to British heritage and serves as a reminder of how art has always pushed boundaries throughout history. This remarkable photograph is part of Walter Thornbury's publication 'Old and New London, ' which delves deep into the city's rich history by narrating stories about its people and places. Preserved by Cassell Petter Galpin & Co. , this monochrome print allows us to travel back in time and witness an important chapter in London's theatrical past.
