Before the Show #2
The unique "act drop" of the Gaiety Theatre & Opera House in Douglas. Act drops like this (essentially a huge painting on canvas or wood) were used in the Victorian era to give audiences something to look at before a show. They were changed monthly, quarterly or annually. This one is said to be the last in the world still in situ.
