Sepia postcard photograph showing the facade of York Theatre Royal plus caption text. The photograph is taken from opposite the theatre, and from a position left of the entrance, so that the building is seen from an oblique angle. The facade is in the Gothic manner. Above a blind arcade of pointed arches, the main frontage features a large oriel window and rises to a gable surmounted by turrets with candle-snuffer roofs and a central pinnacle.
