EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Edwardian London's first night at the theatre, as captured in this stunning illustration by celebrated artist Cecil Beaton. The magical atmosphere of the historical event is brought to life through the elegant and sophisticated attire of the first-nighters, who leave their broughams, or horse-drawn carriages, behind and ascend the theatre steps in their finest evening dress. The red carpet, adorned with the gleaming footprints of those who have come before, leads the way to the entrance, where the excitement of the night's performance awaits. The illuminated theatre marquee casts an inviting glow over the scene, drawing in the fashionable society of the time. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate carriage designs to the intricate patterns of the dresses, transport us back to an era of opulence and grandeur. This image, specially drawn for The Sketch Christmas number, is a testament to the allure and charm of Edwardian night life and the enduring appeal of the theatre.
