![The image displays a vintage poster for Victor Herbert's comic opera "Fortune Teller." The design is striking, with bold red and white colors dominating the composition. At the center of the poster stands an illustration of King Jack or Knight from a playing card suit, depicted in profile facing to the right. He wears traditional European attire indicative of royalty, including a crown-like headpiece adorned with feathers.
Overlapping on top of this central figure are stylized red text and graphics that read "Victor Herbert's Comic Opera 'Fortune Teller'" prominently at the upper part. Additional texts include descriptions such as “With Famous ‘Gypsy Love Song’” and mention specific seating details for an event, including a date (December 6 to December 17) and time ("8:30 P.M."). The venue is listed as "Emery Theatre" in Cincinnati.
On the bottom right corner of the poster, there's smaller text indicating that this print was created by Victor Herbert himself. There are also details about ticket prices for different seat categories ranging from $25 to $40, and a note mentioning “Federal Theatre and Music Project.”
The overall design features sharp contrasts between red and white elements with black outlines adding clarity and definition to the shapes and text.
This poster is indicative of promotional materials used during the mid-20th century for theatrical productions [...]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/844/103/116/895/945/small/1b204e1d23277624.jpeg)
