A report on the theatre fire in Richmond for Virginia Living Magazine

Up in Flames

An opening illustration for Virginia Living Magazine is executed by Bob Venables in an engraving style.

The illustration leads an article on Virginia's Richmond Theater Fire - a glittering evening in 1811 which turned to tragedy when it claimed 72 lives, including Virginia's Governor.

Bob's art, created in a pastiche style resembling a color-tinted engraving, captures the essence of a theatrical poster, showcasing the main characters and the unfolding disaster.
