Stage design of the time was based on the so-called fundus decoration principle – theatre possessed two to three main designs that were used from production to production regardless of the geography or time of the story.
Tolleaegne lavakujundus oli rajatud nn fundusdekoratsiooni printsiibile – teatril oli paar-kolm põhikujundust, mida kasutati lavastusest lavastusse, olenemata loo toimumise geograafiast või ajastust.
