Frederick Walker's poster for the Olympic Theatre's 1871 dramatic adaptation of The Woman in White portrays a woman clothed in white passing through a doorway or large, shuttered window (Figure 1). The background's dark, starlit sky and the woman's frightened glance evoke a nighttime setting of mystery and suspense. The woodcut could represent any of several women in Collins's 1860 novel The Woman in White: the first woman in white whom Walter Hartright encounters, later identified as Anne Catherick; Laura Fairlie, who, dressed in white on the first evening of Walter's stay at Limmeridge House, possesses an uncanny resemblance to Anne; or, as the black-and-white print suggests, a reversed image of Marian Halcombe as she embarks on her aural surveillance mission in the middle of the narrative.
