EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the majestic interior of Shakespeare's Pavilion at Stratford-on-Avon, a masterpiece of Victorian architecture that celebrates the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth in 1564. This stunning photograph print captures the grandeur and elegance of this temporary structure, designed by Thompson and Colbourne, with contractors Branson and Murray from Birmingham, and interior decorations provided by Mr. Brothers from Leamington.
The pavilion's unique design features a twelve-sided framework on a masonry foundation, soaring to 152 feet in diameter and topped with a lantern for natural light and ventilation. The main roof is constructed of twelve framed principals bolted together without horizontal ties, held firm by an iron band that resists the outward thrust of the structure.
Inside this magnificent building, you'll find seating accommodation for over five thousand people, including a 74-foot-wide stage connected to green rooms, dressing areas, and other essential facilities. The orchestra pit can accommodate up to 550 performers during concerts or oratorios. And when it's time to dance, an open space of 100 feet in diameter awaits.
This photograph print offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of this temporary structure that played host to performances, events, and celebrations honoring Shakespeare's legacy. The intricate details and ornate decorations within its walls evoke a sense of nostalgia for bygone eras while celebrating the enduring power of art and culture.
