A sectional drawing cuts a building open to show what lies within, and this one lays bare a theater's interior: its raked seating in stacked tiers rising toward a domed ceiling. Architectural sections like this were central to how theatres were planned and argued over, since sightlines, acoustics and fire escape routes all depended on the shape of the hall. Drawings of this kind were used by architects to win commissions, guide builders and explain designs to patrons and city officials. Look closely at the tiers and the curve overhead, which reveal how audiences were packed in while keeping every seat in view of the stage.
