Cork Inscribed Numismatics Obverse Pass Passes Silver Theatre Royal Ticket Tickets Token Tokens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare artifact from the late 18th century - a pass for Theatre Royal in Cork, made of silver. The pass, beautifully inscribed and meticulously crafted by the British School of the 18th Century, is part of the esteemed Timothy Millett Collection. As we delve into this numismatic treasure, we are transported back to a time when theatre was at its prime. This pass served as more than just an entry ticket; it symbolized prestige and privilege. Its obverse side showcases intricate writing that denotes its purpose - granting free admission to Theatre Royal. The token-like nature of this pass adds another layer of intrigue to its story. It serves as a tangible reminder of an era when physical tokens were used instead of paper tickets or digital passes. Holding this silver piece in our hands connects us with history and allows us to appreciate how far technology has advanced. While gazing upon this remarkable artifact, one can't help but wonder about the individuals who possessed such passes centuries ago. What performances did they witness? What emotions stirred within them as they entered through those grand doors? Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like these, we have the opportunity to admire and reflect upon historical relics such as this exquisite Theatre Royal pass from Cork's vibrant past.
