EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of the Theatre Royal English Opera House in Westminster, London, during the year 1817. The artist behind this remarkable piece is James Stow, who skillfully captures two interior views of this iconic opera house, also known as the Lyceum Theatre. In the top view, we witness an enthralled audience eagerly watching Walker's exhibition of the Eidouranian. This astronomical demonstration must have been a spectacle to behold in that era. The atmosphere inside the theatre is palpable with anticipation and wonder. The image transports us to a bygone era when entertainment was cherished and appreciated differently. It offers a glimpse into British society at that time - a bustling city filled with people seeking cultural enrichment through performing arts. The detailed engraving showcases every architectural element of this historic venue: from its elegant box seats to its sprawling gallery. One can almost imagine being there, surrounded by fellow theatergoers dressed in their finest attire. This artwork serves as both a testament to Edward Francis Burney's artistic talent and as a valuable historical document capturing an important moment in London's theatrical history. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, it allows us to appreciate not only Stow's craftsmanship but also how science and art intertwined on stage during that period. Let this evocative print transport you back in time as you marvel at the splendor of one of London's most renowned theaters - where dreams were realized under its hallowed roof
