Nell Horn

About this work

This poster shows a tall, pale figure with a blurred face, standing against a bold red background. The figure’s arm curves upward, and the colors are mostly red, yellow, and brown. Text lists a play called *Nell Horn* with actor names and a date: May 25, 1891. The poster’s rough, uneven edges and bold colors suggest it was printed quickly for a show. The embossed texture makes parts of the image stand out slightly. Look up lithography to see how this printing technique works.
