EDITORS COMMENTS
A Masked Revelry of English Gentlemen: A Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving of a Masked Ball in a Grand Theater This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Thomas Rowlandson and published by Rudolph Ackermann in 1817, transports us back to the Regency era and invites us to join a lively masked ball in a grand theatre. The image is filled with an eclectic mix of revellers, each dressed in elaborate and intriguing costumes, adding an air of mystery and excitement to the scene. Among the masked partygoers, we find a monk, a jovial Falstaff, a mischievous Harlequin, a regal Turk, and a serious violinist. The young English gentlemen engage in various games and sports, adding to the festive atmosphere. Some are seen playing billiards or pool, their intense focus on the game evident in their expressions as they line up their shots with cues in hand. Others, dressed as soldiers, stand at attention near the rack, rules in hand, ensuring the games are played fairly. The theatre's opulence is on full display, with ornate columns, gilded frames, and a grand scoreboard adorning the stage. The intricate details of the costumes and the theatre's interior, as well as the lively expressions on the faces of the revellers, make this a truly captivating image from the Regency era.
