Background
- Scope and content:
-
Collection comprises 166 French theatrical and operatic costume etchings, each approximately 6 x 9 inches. Each color plate is individually numbered and titled indicating the theatrical roles, names of famous artists, and theatrical performances in which costumes were used. Plates are stored in a case marked "Galerie Dramatique, 901 Á 1200."
This series originally included 1600 cards numbered 1-1600. The range of this collection is 12-1581, but the bulk of the etchings are from the 600-1000 sequence. Figure 66 is wrapped in a holograph letter with lyrics. Some plates are not colored and include duplicates along with handwritten notations either on the front or back of cards. The discrepancy between the appearance of some of the prints suggests that this set was compiled from 2 or more different collections.
