  • Description
    Colour photograph showing the corner bay and façade of the Aldwych Theatre. The photograph is taken from opposite the corner bay which houses the main entrance. Above the flat semicircular canopy, which carries advertising signage, the corner bay has engaged Ionic columns at second- and third-storey level, between which are set windows enriched with relief sculptures above the pediment; the façade (right) is an Ionic temple front which rises to a pediment pierced by a lunette; both corner bay and façade are surmounted by a sheer attic. The production advertised is An Inspector Calls by J B Priestley.
