Evanion Catalogue
October 6, 2005 7:11 PM Subscribe
The Evanion Catalogue at the British Library has a huge collection of high-res images (mostly advertisements) relating to Victorian entertainment and everyday life. I had the most fun browsing the subject index. I couldn't resist the Abnormalities - Human category, where I found a poster advertising The Frog Man. Some more mundane things also. Something for everyone here.
wonderful!
i love this one (and color stuff was rarer then)

I've been enjoying looking at all the magician posters. Keyword: magic.

These are awesome. I love the sideshow ones. Any chance of getting frameable reproductions?
