EDITORS COMMENTS

Entitled "Side Box Sketches" this artwork offers us a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant world of British theater during the eighteenth century.

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.
