London's vanished playhouses and pleasure gardens return in prints from Theatrum Illustrata, Robert Wilkinson's graphic and historical compilation, dated 1834. The plates follow theatrical sites from the early playhouses of Bankside to the Haymarket, Covent Garden and other later venues, with plans locating the Globe, the Fortune and Goodman's Fields among their surrounding streets and views showing the buildings inside and out. Bear-baiting grounds, public gardens and processions widen the story of popular entertainment, while nearby schools, halls, markets and older landmarks fill out the neighbourhoods of London and Westminster.
