Book Description
Burgeoning Victorian leisure time created demand for a rich diversity of public entertainment, from Punch and Judy shows to lavish spectaculars in London theatres. This collection of posters from the Public Record Office archives reflects this diversity in style and content. Early, fussy designs groaning with text and ornament changed with French influence, creating a bold new art form combining fine art and popular culture.
