Grand Opera House (London, Ont.) · 1895 · [London, Ont.? : s.n.] · 7 pictures

This is a newspaper-style advertising page, apparently from a London, Ontario newspaper of the 1890s, and the catalogue record describes an 1895 Grand Opera House programme with pictorial illustrations by G.H. Snazelle. The pictures are black-and-white engravings of period goods and advertisers, such as a laced shoe, a bear labelled Beltz, a boned corset and a top-hatted man with a cigar, all set in dense type. A designer could take their crosshatched line work, decorative lettering and compact advertising layouts as models for vintage typography.
