EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster by renowned British graphic artist John Hassall, created in December 1906 for Harry Pelissier's popular entertainment troupe, The Follies, presents an unexpected and humorous scene. Instead of promoting the allure and excitement of the show, Hassall's design focuses on the chaotic moment as the audience rushes for the exits. The auditorium is filled with a sea of hats and umbrellas, as patrons scramble to escape, leaving a solitary figure on stage, presumably Pelissier himself, looking on in amusement. Hassall's unconventional approach to poster design for The Follies proved to be incredibly popular, as it not only captured the attention of potential theatergoers but also showcased the artist's unique sense of humor. The poster's contrasting elements - the organized chaos of the audience and the calm, collected demeanor of Pelissier - add to its intrigue and appeal. The Follies, which was known for its variety performances, including music, comedy, and dance, was a staple of London's entertainment scene during the early 20th century. With this poster, Hassall effectively communicated the energy and excitement of the troupe while also highlighting the unexpected twists and turns that could be found within its productions. This poster is a testament to Hassall's skill as a graphic artist and his ability to create visually striking and memorable designs that continue to captivate audiences over a century later.
