EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the reign of King Charles II, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the Dukes Theatre in Lincolns Inn Fields. The intricate details captured by Richard Sawyer's skilled hand transport us to a world where stagecraft and drama reigned supreme. The image showcases the opulent interior of this iconic playhouse, with its ornate architecture and lavish decor. Every corner is adorned with exquisite carvings, while chandeliers hang from above, casting a soft glow over the scene below. The audience seating stretches out before us, inviting spectators to immerse themselves in the theatrical magic that unfolded on this very stage. As we peer closer, we can almost hear the echoes of applause and laughter reverberating through these hallowed walls. This was an era when restoration theater flourished, bringing tales of love, tragedy, and comedy to life for eager audiences seeking entertainment and escape from their everyday lives. In particular, Elkannah Settle's renowned play "Empress of Morocco" graced this very stage during this period. Its performance would have undoubtedly captivated all who were fortunate enough to witness it within these magnificent surroundings. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of 17th-century theater but also offers a window into an era that forever shaped English culture and literature.
