Copy of a colour-tinted postcard (on paper) of the auditorium at the Coliseum in London. The view is from the centre of the stage looking directly out into an empty red and gold auditorium, its focal point being the royal box which is situated in the centre at the back of the stalls. The royal box forms the centrepiece of a ring of boxes behind the stalls. Above the stalls stretch three balconies, each with their own boxes far right and left. Part of the orchestra pit is visible in the foreground.
