1832.
Believe it mo'fo.
Giles Balne, Printer, born 1777.
The dude was in a great position. He printed lottery tickets.
Funnily enough he then won the lottery, hmm.....
With all the cash he then bought the Vauxhall Gardens and spent the rest of his life printing shit hot posters for them.
This poster is 780 x 532mm and is one of seven kept at the Bodleian Library in the John Johnson collection in Oxford. Well worth a visit to see the real thing.
