Grand Opera House (London, Ont.) · 1893 · [London, Ont.? : s.n.] · 2 pictures

This is a playbill programme for the Grand Opera House in London, Ontario, issued for a Monday performance on 27 February 1893 by the house itself, advertising a vaudeville troupe called the New York Vaudeville Stars. The two pictures are newspaper-style advertisement blocks: a black-and-white engraved view of a large multi-storey hotel with a central tower under a dark, billowing sky, captioned as the leading hotel of Western Ontario, and a bold flowing script wordmark reading Burns set above a swash underline. A designer could take from them the dense, heavy-black engraving of architecture against cloud, and the confident brush-script lettering with its sweeping tail.
