At the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1913: A Humorous Overview of London's Premier Art Event This print offers a unique perspective on the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1913, an annual art event held in London that showcased the works of both established and emerging artists. The image provides an overhead view of the grandiose Royal Academy building, with its intricate architecture and impressive layout of galleries. The cartoon sketches scattered throughout the print add a delightful touch of humour to the otherwise formal setting. Above, visitors are depicted in various amusing situations, such as getting lost in the labyrinthine corridors or engaging in animated discussions about the merits of different artworks. Below, the floorplan of the building is meticulously detailed, with each room neatly labeled to indicate the type of artwork on display – be it paintings, sculptures, or drawings. The Royal Academy Exhibition of 1913 was a significant event in the art world, attracting thousands of visitors each year. This print serves as a visual record of the social scene that unfolded within its hallowed halls. Notable figures of the time, such as the satirical illustrator Bron, Lance, and Thackeray Sphere, were among the many artists and patrons who graced the exhibition with their presence. This print is an intriguing snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history of the Royal Academy and the world of art during the early 20th century. Its whimsical charm and meticulous detail make it an essential addition to any collection focused on art history, social history, or the history of London.
