EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and extravagant world of 18th century London with this print capturing a scene from a masquerade at the Pantheon on Oxford Street, Westminster. Designed by the renowned architect James Wyatt, the Pantheon was a hub of public entertainment that opened its doors in 1772. In this image, we are transported to an opulent ballroom adorned with intricate architectural features and a magnificent ceiling. The room is filled with elegantly dressed men and women, their costumes reflecting the fashion trends of the Georgian era. Amongst them, we spot a man accompanied by his loyal dog, adding an unexpected touch of whimsy to the grand occasion. The atmosphere is electric as masked party-goers dance and mingle beneath ornate balconies overlooking the bustling streets outside. This enchanting snapshot offers us a glimpse into both high society revelry and everyday life in 18th century Britain. Preserved for generations at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this engraving by Charles White captures not only an iconic moment but also serves as a testament to London's rich cultural heritage. It invites us to explore history through artistry while celebrating centuries-old traditions that continue to captivate our imagination today.
