EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant world of British theatre in the late 19th century. Created by Philip William May, this pen and ink drawing showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of a moment. In this lively scene, four young boys dressed in traditional clothing are depicted outside the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London's Covent Garden. One of them stands proudly wearing a bearskin hat while holding a drumstick, representing a drummer boy from that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each child with distinct personalities and expressions. May's caricature style adds an element of humor to the piece, bringing these characters to life with exaggerated features and playful gestures. Despite their nakedness, which was common attire for children at that time, they exude confidence and charm. This artwork not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable insights into the cultural heritage of Britain during this period. It offers viewers a glimpse into the bustling streets surrounding one of London's most renowned playhouses. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, "Theatre Royal Drury Lane Programme" invites us to step into history and appreciate both May's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the spirit of an era long gone.
