Well I'd never heard of this person before today, but in my trawl through ebay for Folkestone related ephemera, I came across this print for sale in America. It appears to come from a book and is of a Woodcut print advertising a play by the Danish playwright Karen Bramson.
The poster says that the advertiser is a 'Folkestone Theatre,' but as to which one, I haven't a clue.
Interestingly there is also another local history connection in that Aubrey Hammond was born in Folkestone in 1894. He studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art and at the Academie Julien, in Paris, and later taught at Westminster School of Art. He drew mostly in pen and ink; his work was characterised by delicate decorative design usually conceived in the angular style of the 1920s. His work could at times be severe showing an affinity with the work of the Vorticists. He died in 1940.
