EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London's Leicester Square. Standing proudly at the forefront is the magnificent Empire Theatre, its grandeur illuminated by a soft misty glow. The fountain in front adds an enchanting touch, its waters shimmering under the floodlights that cast a magical ambiance over the scene. Dating back to 1887, this iconic theatre was renowned as one of London's most famous music halls. In this particular image, we catch a glimpse of Lydia Kyasht, Europe's greatest dancer and one of the stars who graced its stage. Her talent and grace are evident even from this frozen moment captured by Historic England Archive.

It serves as a reminder of how entertainment has evolved throughout history while also honoring those who left their mark on these hallowed grounds. The atmospheric quality of this image evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonderment for times gone by. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling through Leicester Square on a misty night, captivated by both the theater's allure and our own imaginations.
