Untitled is a 1950 by The Morris Printing Co. Ltd., held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster is mostly black with bold white and red text. At the top, "THEATRE ROYAL" is written in large, uneven letters. Below it, smaller print lists names like "Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet" and "The D’Oyly Carte Opera Company." The bottom shows ticket prices and performance times in red boxes. The poster advertises two shows: ballet and opera. The ballet has names like "Les Rendez-vous" and "Coppelia," while the opera lists Gilbert and Sullivan works. Look up The Morris Printing Co. Ltd. to see more of their bold, text-heavy designs.
