EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century City of London. The focal point is the magnificent Fortune Theatre, a true architectural gem that stood proudly on Golden Lane. Painted by the talented artist William Wise, this detailed engraving showcases not only the grandeur of the theatre but also provides a glimpse into daily life during that era. Intriguingly, figures can be seen going about their business in this vibrant scene. A horse-drawn cart laden with barrels adds an element of movement and transport to the composition. It's fascinating to imagine how these goods were being transported through the cobblestone streets of London at a time when road transport was still in its infancy. The inclusion of a plan of Golden Lane further enhances our understanding of this historic location. This street must have been teeming with activity as people went about their daily routines amidst these impressive buildings. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome masterpiece offers us a window into England's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded not only of William Wise's artistic prowess but also how much has changed since those days gone by. This print serves as a testament to both history and artistry, capturing an enchanting moment frozen in time for all to admire and appreciate today
