Playbills of the Theatre Royal Edinburgh
URL: http://www.nls.uk/playbills/

Description:
A digitized "selection of over 240 playbills [from 1800 to 1850], which were used to advertise performances and events, using originals in the collection of the National Library of Scotland." Although the site has a search engine, browsing is more fun, bringing up a list of playbills with the main performance, other performances, date, and location. Also includes a brief history of the Theatre Royal.
