![[Concert ticket] The Concert of Antient Music in Tottenham Street.](jpegs/63518.jpg)
[Concert ticket] The Concert of Antient Music in Tottenham Street.
[Smirke del. Heath sc.]
[London, c.1792.]
Stipple, printed in sepia. Oval, 70 x 55mm (2¾ x 2¼"). Trimmed, losing the border of a laurel wreath topped by a medley of musical instruments.
A classical bust portrait in profile, used c.1789-96: the colour signifies this is a lady's ticket (men's were black, blue & green). The concert room at Tottenham Street, Fitzrovia was built by Francis Pasquali in 1772, apparently with the support of the Earl of Sandwich and others. In 1786 Pasquali and Michael Novosielski, architect of His Majesty's Theatre in the Haymarket, leased the building to Lord Sandwich and his friends for the "concerts of ancient music" which had been inaugurated elsewhere in 1776. The building was enlarged and fitted under the direction of James Wyatt with a royal box for George III and Queen Charlotte, who were constant patrons, and became known as The King's Concert Rooms. In 1794 the concerts were removed to the King's Theatre, Haymarket, and thence to the Hanover Rooms. After Robert Smirke (1752-1845).
See BM C,3.54-63 for a collection of 10.
