London Ballet poster
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1940
Yellow poster with black typography advertising the London Ballet at the Arts Theatre Club, with reviews from several newspapers. Advertising nightly performances by The London Ballet at the Arts Theatre Club, this poster is an example of a show being promoted through the use of positive reviews from newspaper articles.
Produced in 1940, when resources in Britain were very stretched due to the Second World War; for this reason the posters for productions would have been very austere. The Arts Theatre Club was opened in 1927 for the production of plays unlicensed by the Lord Chamberlain's Office, censors of the British stage until 1968.
