This poster advertises the one-act play A Chapter from Don Quixote by W. G. Wills at the Lyceum Theatre, London, England on 4 May 1895. Wills's play was based on episodes in Don Quixote (1605-1615), the famous novel by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). Using their distinctive collage technique, The Beggarstaffs designed three versions of this monumental and sombre poster for a production starring Henry Irving. Their approach was a radical departure for theatrical advertising, and Irving declined to use it, declaring he wanted 'No more mills!' He similarly rejected a later Beggarstaffs' design for the play Robespierre. Although not seen on the hoardings, the original poster for A Chapter from Don Quixote was influential through its illustration in various periodicals. Object: Lyceum Don Quixote, Series: Les Maîtres de l'affiche.
