Evanion Collection of ephemera
Completion requirements
The British Library now owns some 5,000 items from the 'Evanion'
collection, originally purchased by the British Museum in 1895. They
include many colourful posters and handbills produced as publicity for
the various entertainments staged in music halls and theatres, as well
as for exhibitions, circuses and other popular events. Trade catalogues,
price lists and advertising materials that were once in general
circulation reflect both the necessities and the aspirations of
contemporary life.
