    Streetscape showing the Shakespeare Theatre, London
  • Description
    Photograph of a sepia-tinted postcard showing the façade of the Shakespeare Theatre within a streetscape of Lavender Hill in Battersea, London. The theatre is on the right hand side of the road, slightly right of centre on the postcard, with a female figure atop a central gable crowning the building. It has a three-storey, three-bay façade greatly enlivened by the advanced central bay with the entrance under a porch held aloft by Doric columns, which rise up to a pediment with a stone carving of William Shakespeare on its face.
