This 1951 print shows a night at a London theatre. Eric Atkinson captured the scene with an etching. The New Cross Empire had just closed in 1954 after 55 years. The theatre’s Louis XIV style vanished when it was torn down in 1958. Atkinson’s print is a quiet record of that place and time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
