About this work

This print shows a program for performances at a London tavern in 1860. Two actors, Mr. Andrew Campbell and friends, put on "Dramatic Recollections." The sheet lists songs and jokes in tiny, neat print. It’s a piece of everyday life turned into a keepsake. People back then saved these for memories. Cheap prints like this were like today’s flyers or ticket stubs. See one next at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
