Dated back to 1904, this unique piece of theatre history was designed by the renowned British poster artist, John Hassall.

The White Cat was a popular pantomime during the Edwardian period, known for its whimsical storytelling and elaborate productions. This poster is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity of the time, as well as the enduring appeal of the pantomime tradition.
