EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "The Press, the New Ballet at the Empire" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of entertainment and media in 19th century England. Created by Frank Craig, this artwork captures the essence of an iconic performance that unfolded at the Empire Theatre. Intriguingly depicted are members of the fourth estate - journalists and reporters from various Sunday papers - eagerly entering the grand hall. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as they gather to witness this new ballet production unfold before their eyes. The image exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, transporting viewers to a time when attending such events was considered both fashionable and culturally enriching. Craig's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of architectural elements within the theatre itself. From ornate pillars to opulent chandeliers hanging overhead, every aspect contributes to creating an ambiance befitting such a prestigious venue. This engraving not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers valuable historical insights into society's fascination with both journalism and performing arts during that period. It reminds us of how these two realms intersected, influencing public opinion through vivid storytelling on stage and in print. "The Press, the New Ballet at the Empire" stands as a testament to Craig's artistic prowess while providing us with an evocative snapshot of Victorian culture where media played a significant role in shaping public discourse.
