Poster advertising The Toreador at the Fulham Theatre, 1902 is a 1902 by Val Prince, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows a woman in a bright yellow dress with red trim, dancing with one arm raised. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and a lace shawl, and her skirt flares dramatically. In the background, a small figure peeks over a ledge, and a bullfighter’s cape lies on the ground. The text at the top reads “Fulham Theatre” and advertises “Mr. George Edwardes’ Toreador Company.” The swirling lines around the woman’s body add energy to the scene, making it feel like she’s mid-movement.
