Grand Opera House, London, Ont. [microform] : Friday, April 12th, 1893 : programme, George Wilson's Minstrels, under the management of William Frazier Dickson .
A printed programme for the Grand Opera House in London, Ontario, for a Friday performance on April 12, 1893, by George Wilson's Minstrels under manager William Frazier Dickson, probably issued locally by an unnamed printer. The two pictures are newspaper-style advertising blocks: a flowing script word, 'Burns', above a black-and-white engraving of a multi-storey hotel with dark cloud-filled sky, captioned 'Leading Hotel of Western Ontario'. A designer might take the bold swash lettering and the heavy, high-contrast woodcut-like building vignette as models for period display type and advertising logos.
