EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Leicester Square in the 1860s. The image showcases a remarkable theatrical advertisement, meticulously engraved by an English School artist from the 19th century. This piece, now held in a private collection, offers a glimpse into the vibrant entertainment scene of that era. The advertisement itself is truly impressive, featuring bold and eye-catching designs that would have surely attracted passersby. It hails from The Million magazine issue dated 15 September 1894, adding another layer of historical significance to this engraving. Amidst the lively atmosphere depicted in this print, one cannot help but notice the presence of horses. These majestic creatures play a prominent role in both transportation and leisure activities during this time period. From racehorses to ponies and even shire horses, they add an element of dynamism to the scene. Beyond their beauty and gracefulness captured here, these animals symbolize not only power but also evoke nostalgia for simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight on city streets. Overall, this enchanting engraving transports us back in time to experience Leicester Square's rich cultural heritage while highlighting its thriving theatrical industry. It serves as a testament to how advertising has evolved over centuries while reminding us of our enduring fascination with artistry and entertainment.
