Donizetti's famous opera, Daughter of the regiment [microform] : produced for the benefit of the Boys' Home

Grand Opera House (Hamilton, Ont.) · 1800 · [Hamilton, Ont.? : s.n.] · 2 pictures

This is a playbill-style programme printed in Hamilton, Ontario, for a benefit performance of Donizetti's opera Daughter of the Regiment at the Grand Opera House, with proceeds for the Boys' Home. The first picture shows a decorative banner reading BILL and PLAY with CONTINUED beneath a shop advertisement for King Street West, while the second shows newspaper-style advertisements for cigars, Smokers, Hunter's Book Store and Tuckett's Cherub tobacco. A designer might take the ribbon banner lettering and the dense, mixed-size advertising type layout as models for vintage ephemera.
