Description
This poster advertises a variety bill at the Surrey Theatre, a music hall in south London which started life as a circus in the late 18th century and became a dramatic and variety theatre in the 19th century. The main attraction is the ‘Egyptian’ magician The Great Rameses, the stage name of Polish-British performer Albert Marchinski. He was a specialist in large scale illusions as depicted in the poster.
