  • Original Old Print of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London, 1820
    Located in Langweer, NL
    Antique print titled 'Interior of the late Theatre Royal Drury Lane (..)'.

Initially known as "Theatre Royal in Bridges Street", the theatre's proprietors hired prominent actors who performed at the theatre on a regular basis, including Nell Gwyn...
