EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the vibrant world of "The Beggars Opera". The scene depicted is a bustling tavern near Newgate, beautifully brought to life through the medium of colour lithography. Created by Claud Lovat Fraser between 1890 and 1921, this artwork captures the essence of John Gay's famous play. "The Beggars Opera" was written by Mr Gay and published in Heinemann in 1921. This illustration serves as a visual representation of one of its pivotal scenes, set within the lively confines of a tavern. The attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect from the theatre costumes and dresses worn by the characters to the carefully crafted backdrop contributes to an immersive experience. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the laughter and music that would have filled such establishments during those times. It offers us a glimpse into both historical London society and theatrical culture. This particular print belongs to a private collection but has been made available for our appreciation through Look and Learn. Its presence reminds us not only of Fraser's artistic talent but also highlights how timeless works like "The Beggars Opera" continue to captivate audiences across generations.
