This 1962 poster helped advertise a British variety show. It’s a typographical design—just words arranged in bold letters. Variety shows packed theaters twice nightly back then. The star’s name sat at the top, “topping the bill.” Smaller acts filled the rest of the program. Posters like this were the main way people learned about the lineup. Look up the next poster from the Victoria and Albert Museum.
