About this work

This print shows a 1776 view of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane’s new front entrance. It’s a Romantic-era print by P. Begbie, all sharp lines and careful shading. The work records a single London moment: a grand doorway built for crowds heading to plays. It’s more about the scene than the crowd itself. Look up more prints by Begbie, P.
