“The Rose of Persia” — Dudley Hardy, 1900

Arthur Sullivan’s last great comic opera, the exotic tale of the Sultan, the poet and the rose of Persia, advertised here by Dudley Hardy — the most sought-after theatrical poster artist of the age, and the same hand behind our His Majesty D’Oyly Carte print.

The design is pure orientalist spectacle: rich colour, flowing drapery and the romance of the Arabian Nights, exactly as the Edwardian stage loved it. A wonderful companion piece for lovers of Gilbert and Sullivan and the London theatre.
