0.07 linear metres.

GB 0074 ACC/0595 1857-1869 Collection 0.07 linear metres. Various.

These papers relating to cultural events were collected for their general or antiquarian interest and relevance to the subject, rather than having a united provenance (that is, being produced by the same institution or business).

Records deposited in May 1956.

Collection of ephemera, 1857-1869 and undated {1850s-1860s}, largely printed, including playbills, programmes, song sheets, catalogues and guides, relating to events, including sport, music, fireworks, fountains and illuminations, at the Crystal Palace (Sydenham, Kent); to operas at the Royal English Opera and the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden (Westminster); and to theatrical, musical and other recreational events, including comedies, ballets, tableaux, dioramas, exhibitions, and popular scientific events, at various premises including in Westminster, St Marylebone, Paddington, St Pancras, St Giles in the Fields, South Kensington, Kew, and Greenwich.

Where there is more than one document relating to the same premises they have been grouped together and numbered consecutively, with the groups as far as possible in chronological order. Single documents, relating to various premises, follow the groups, also in chronological order.

Available for general access.

Copyright to this collection rests with the depositor.
