Side Box Sketches, June 5,1786 - A Glimpse into the Theatrical World of 18th Century Britain
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in time from June 5,1786, through the skilled hand of Samuel Alken. Entitled "Side Box Sketches" this artwork offers us a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant world of British theater during the eighteenth century. The image showcases an architectural feature known as a side box within a theater. In this bustling scene, men and women dressed in colorful attire can be seen occupying these coveted spaces. Their fashionable clothing reflects the trends and styles prevalent during that era. As we observe closely, we notice an audience engrossed in their surroundings. Men donning elegant hats engage in lively conversations with their female companions who are adorned with equally fashionable headwear. This hand-colored etching and aquatint beautifully captures not only their physical appearance but also their animated expressions. Alken's work is infused with satire as he humorously portrays the diverse characters present in this theatrical setting. From aristocrats to commoners, all are united by their shared love for live performances. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece stands as a testament to both Alken's artistic talent and his ability to transport viewers back to an enchanting period in history. Through "Side Box Sketches". Samuel Alken Senior has immortalized a moment filled with anticipation and excitement—a reminder that even centuries
