Eugenie Blair and her own company in East Lynne [microform] : in five acts : direction of Robert Downing
This is a theatre programme for an 1898 performance of East Lynne, printed for the Grand Opera House in Hamilton, Ontario, and aimed at local playgoers and advertisers. The pictures are a newspaper-style page of small advertisements: a shop sign for James Osborne & Son with a cash register, a Devonshire Cream ad with a silhouetted waiter, a Jersey Cream box label, and an engraved Commercial Hotel building. A designer could take from them the compact, mixed-type layout and the bold display lettering of late-nineteenth-century Canadian commercial print.
