EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork transports us back in time to the heart of London's vibrant Leicester Square, where The Empire, a grand and historic theatre house, once stood in all its glory. Circa 1915, the building, designed by the esteemed architects Thomas Verity and Thomas Lamb, was originally constructed as a variety theatre, attracting audiences with its eclectic mix of music, dance, and comedy performances. The theatre's rich history is evident in this stunning depiction, with its ornate facade adorned with intricate details and bold colours. By 1927, The Empire had closed its doors as a theatre and underwent a significant transformation. It was rebuilt the following year for the burgeoning film industry, and has remained a cinematic landmark in London ever since. This image, taken from the September volume of a colour magazine in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the laughter, applause, and wonder that once filled the halls of this iconic building. The architectural mastery of Thomas Verity and Thomas Lamb is on full display in this artwork, with their design seamlessly blending the elegance of the Victorian era with the excitement of the modern age. A true testament to the enduring allure of London's theatrical history, The Empire continues to captivate and inspire, long after the final curtain call.
