Black and white newspaper engraving showing the auditorium of the New Amphitheatre, Holborn, plus caption text. The engraving is taken from the dress circle. Visible architectural elements include: the arena, in which an equestrian act is taking place; the orchestra pit; the stalls; the dress circle; the upper circle; the stage; the proscenium arch; and the house tabs. Several decorative elements, including the act drop, which is painted with a scene from a Roman chariot race, the band of arches above the upper circle seating, which creates a scallop effect, and the chandelier, can also be seen clearly.
