Provenance
This collection forms part of the Jay T. Last Collection of Graphic Arts and Social History, which was
donated to the Huntington Library by Jay T. Last in 2005 as a gift in progress. The bulk of the performing arts prints and ephemera were transferred to the Library between 2010 and 2013.
Background
The Jay T. Last Collection is an unparalleled archive of printed paper artifacts that documents American lithographic, social,
and business history. The collection began in the early 1970s when
physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer Jay Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels he found
at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew,
Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial printing, graphic design, and social history,
and he expanded his collection to include other forms
of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 200,000 lithographic prints, posters, and ephemera of
mostly nineteenth- and early twentieth- century American
origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic companies.
Scope and Content
The Jay T. Last Collection of Entertainment: Performing Arts Prints and Ephemera contains more than 2,300 printed items primarily
advertising theatrical and musical entertainment and related
performers in the United States from 1839 to the 1940s, with the majority of items dating from the 1870s to the 1890s. The
collection consists of advertising and promotional materials, business records, and illustrations pertaining to a wide variety
of
performance genres that have been grouped broadly as music and theater (including theater, music, dance, burlesque, comedy,
pantomime, and variety); minstrel (including minstrel shows, blackface
entertainers, and female minstrels); and magic and miscellaneous (including magicians, motion pictures, and Wild West shows).
Materials are arranged into two series: small-size items (11 x 14 inches or less) and large-size items (bigger than 11 x 14
inches). Small size items are described broadly at the series level;
large-size items are fully inventoried and all printers, artists, and publishers are indexed by name.
The collection has 450 large-size items comprised mainly of lithographic theatrical and minstrel posters that were intended
to advertise specific shows or performers.
Small-size items in the collection number approximately 1,850 and are comprised mainly of promotional ephemera and business
documents such as trade cards, programs and playbills, souvenir booklets, tickets, die-cut
cards, and printed billheads and letterheads with manuscript text.
The collection provides a resource for studying the history of the American theater and the evolution of advertising strategies
for the performing arts in the United States in the late 19th century. As graphic materials, the
items offer evidence of developing techniques and trends in printmaking, and of the artists, engravers, lithographers, printers,
and publishers involved in the creation of these prints.
