Grand Opera House, London, Ont., programme [microform] : Tuesday, February 19th, the original and world-famed Davenport Bros. and W.M. Fay .
A theatre programme issued by the Grand Opera House in London, Ontario, in 1895, printed by an unnamed local publisher for its audiences and advertisers. The pictures show a decorative floral urn border, a large Victorian poster with a winged figure and an opera house, a dark bottle with a label, and a shoe advertisement with a bee illustration and a programme listing. A designer could take the ornate 1890s display lettering, engraved border ornaments and bee motif as period references.
