This print shows a crowd at London’s Royal Opera House in 1855, dressed in top hats and crinolines. It’s a poster for Jullien’s summer concerts, printed in bold colors and swirling fonts. You can almost hear the violins tuning up. The poster is small but packed with detail—look for the tiny violins tucked into the border. It was meant to grab attention fast, plastered on walls or handed out on the street. See one yourself at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
