Ledger Job Printing

Ledger Job Printing is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Ledger Job Printing made bold, colorful posters in the 1860s that advertised performers like the tightrope-walking child prodigy El Niño Eddie and the pianist Blind Tom. Their work belongs to the lively world of American circus and variety-show advertising, where big text and vivid pictures grabbed attention fast. Check out the 1866 Blind Tom poster, where graphics and typography collide to sell a night of piano fireworks. Want to see more of this era’s flashy showbiz flair?
