EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the grandeur of Theatre Royal, Newcastle. Standing proudly on Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne, this architectural masterpiece is a true testament to the city's rich cultural heritage.
From a high vantage point, photographer Eric de Mare skillfully captures the essence of this iconic landmark. The portico of Theatre Royal dominates the frame, its majestic columns reaching towards the sky with an air of timeless elegance. The intricate details etched into every pillar tell stories of countless performances that have graced its stage since it first opened its doors in 1837.
The oblique angle chosen by de Mare adds depth and dimension to the image, allowing us to appreciate both the scale and intricacy of this magnificent structure. As our eyes wander across each element captured within the frame - from ornate carvings to delicate moldings - we are reminded of the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such a remarkable piece of architecture.
Beyond its physical beauty, Theatre Royal holds immense historical significance for Newcastle upon Tyne. It has been witness to countless moments that have shaped both local culture and national theatre history. From Shakespearean classics to modern productions, generations have flocked through these very doors seeking entertainment and enlightenment.
Eric de Mare's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and invites us to reflect on how this historic gem continues to enrich our lives today.
