Author: (DRURY LANE THEATRE / BROADSIDE)
Title: Splendid Tableau Vivant (As Afterwards Seen in Act 3. ) Village Hut, and Distant View of the Enchanted Castle, with the Entrance of the Fairy Nabote in Her Car, Drawn by Real Horses!
Description: London, Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, n.y. Printed broadside. Folio (13½" X 8¼"). Very good. Mild wear, mainly about the edges, which show discreet, expert expert archival mends on verso; tiny "DUPL NYPL" inkstamp on verso. Printed on ultra-thin pale green tissue paper by S.G. Fairbrother, undated but likely 1833, this scarce broadside advertises a number of upcoming productions in a bewildering text jumble of various type sizes. The central production is a revision of Mozart's "Don Juan" featuring John Braham, Madame De Meric and Mrs. Wood, along with "A New Ballet Opera.. to be called The Maid of Cashmere" by Daniel Auber and "The Sleeping Beauty" featuring Mademoiselle Duvernay. A superb example of this rare survivor. .
