Summary

Description
English: Detroit Publishing Company photochrom of Shakespeare's Memorial Theatre, which burned down in 1926.

For the record, "Shakespeare's Memorial Theatre" is the name given in the Library of Congress' description, taken from Detroit Publishing Co., Catalogue J foreign section, Detroit, Mich. : Detroit Publishing Company, 1905. The photochrom itself calls it just the "Stratford on Avon Memorial Theatre", and "Shakespeare Memorial Theatre" appears to be the most common usage.


This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Dirt, dust, cracks, and spotting edited out; the LoC use uncalibrated scanners, so levels were adjusted to try and make the image as natural as possible..

Date between ca. 1890 and ca. 1900[1]
