EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us to a grand Masked Ball at the Opera House on the 26th of April. Engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1770, this exquisite artwork showcases the talent and craftsmanship of Giovanni Battista Cipriani. The image is filled with enchanting details that transport us into a world of mystery and opulence. A masked figure stands proudly in the foreground, holding a flaming torch high above their head. The River Thames flows gracefully behind them, personified as Father Thames himself, while Cupid playfully hovers nearby. Intricate carvings adorn the surrounding architecture, depicting scenes from mythology and masquerade festivities. The Kings Theatre in Haymarket can be seen in the background, its majestic presence adding to the allure of this extraordinary event. A mischievous putto rides atop Triton's back, symbolizing joy and revelry amidst an atmosphere shrouded in secrecy. This ticket serves as both an invitation to an unforgettable night and a testament to London's vibrant cultural scene during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from eWestminster Archives' collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the glamour and excitement that once graced Her Majesty's stage. It is through these historical artifacts that we can continue to appreciate and celebrate our rich artistic heritage for generations to come.
