EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures The Cut, a historic street in London that runs between Waterloo Road in Lambeth and Blackfriars Road in Southwark, as it looked in 1875. The Cut, formerly known as New Cut, has a rich history and is best known for being the location of two renowned theatres, the Old Vic and the Young Vic. The Old Vic Theatre, founded in 1833, is one of the oldest theatres in the English-speaking world and has been home to many famous actors and productions over the years. The Young Vic Theatre, on the other hand, was established in 1962 and is known for its innovative and contemporary productions. In this photograph, we see The Cut as a bustling and vibrant street, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way along the cobblestone road. The buildings on either side of the street are a mix of old and new, with some showing signs of wear and others appearing more modern. The Old Vic Theatre can be seen in the background, its red brick facade standing out against the grey sky. Despite the passage of time, The Cut remains an important cultural hub in London, attracting visitors from around the world to experience the magic of live theatre. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on the streets of London and the Old Vic Theatre was a beloved institution.
