EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard image of the Strand Theatre in London's vibrant West End, circa 1910. Designed by the esteemed theatre architect W.G.R. Sprague, the Strand Theatre originally opened its doors in 1905 as the Waldorf Theatre. Over the years, it has been known by various names, including the Whitney Theatre and the Strand Theatre (twice). In 2005, it was rechristened as the Novello Theatre, continuing its rich theatrical legacy. The striking red and gold facade of the theatre, adorned with intricate detailing, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the early 20th century. The long queue of eager theatre-goers, dressed in their finest attire, adds to the excitement and anticipation of a night at the theatre. The scarlet pimpernel, the theatre's iconic emblem, can be seen proudly displayed above the entrance. The 1910s and 1900s were a golden age for London's West End theatres, and the Strand Theatre was no exception. This postcard is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the theatrical world of a bygone era. Whether you're a theatre historian, a lover of vintage postcards, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of London's architectural heritage, this postcard is sure to captivate and inspire.
