EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by William Hogarth, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century London. The scene unfolds at Drury Lane Theatre, where a boisterous crowd has gathered for an evening of entertainment and merriment. Hogarth masterfully captures the infectious joy that permeates the air as laughter echoes throughout the theater.
