About this work

This print shows London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane as it looked in 1815. It’s a single sheet in black ink on paper, made by T. Lester. The scene captures a famous playhouse with tall windows and a crowd outside. The print was published right after a fire rebuilt the theater in 1815. Tourists and locals fill the street, hinting at the building’s big role in London’s nightlife. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
