Comedy of errors [graphic] : Robson & Crane.

Two Dromios

New York : Lindner, Eddy & Clauss, Lith., [1885 or 1886?]

1 sheet : lithographs (some color) ; 21 x 25 cm

paper

Printed souvenir sheet from a production of the Comedy of errors featuring Stuart Robson and William Crane. The front is printed to resemble a casket or jewelry box, with a center panel that folds open to reveal multiple scenes from the play. On the verso is a program for the play, with an illustrated border. Scenes depicted are: The two Dromios, Port and docks of Ephesus, The odeum of Ephesus, The house of Antipholus of Ephesus, The gynaecium, Phryne's villa, and Diana of the Ephesians.

The cast list matches that of a production in Chicago in 1886, as recorded in the advertising supplement of Theatre magazine (vol. X, no. 101, July 1909). It is close to the cast list for a production at Chicago's Grand Opera House in October 1885; the only difference is that the role of Blousabella is listed on a playbill for the October 1885 production as played by Mrs. Anna A. Wade, and on the souvenir card (and in Theatre magazine) as played by Mrs. F. C. Wells.
