Palace Theatre / Ivanoff Troupe (c.1903). Anonymous. Poster. Printer: David Allen & Sons, London.

This lovely poster promotes a troupe of Russian performers, with this leaping lady representing the crew. Interestingly, the poster credits Charles Morton as the manager of the Palace Theatre. After an illustrious career as a music hall manager throughout England, Morton was talked out of retirement when the Royal English Opera became available to him. He reopened it as the Palace, and managed it as one of the most profitable venues in London from 1892 until the time of his death in 1904.
