Not really sure why they restricted themselves to daybills. The art on the one sheets was often inferior to the daybills. I feel that the Richardson posters from the 30s and 40s are the standouts. Regards John

Any idea why they restricted themselves to daybills? – would have thought it most cost-effective for studio/distributor to get everything done in one place. In any case, great example of what a company (presumably mostly guided by John Richardson himself) can achieve by putting a little extra effort in. Not all hit the mark, but the use of colour on some of them – particularly shading and background - is quite amazing.
