Beautiful prints, historical prints, stage and theatre magazines with beautiful covers and illustrations throughout. Postcards from Bill's travels in the theatre. Bookcases full of hours of interesting reading. The Larsen's loved the theatre and music, art and history and their collections reflect it.
