Description
Image of a heraldic shield with a coat of arms design containing crosses and a knife, with a knight's metal military armor helmet with feather plumes above and a banner labeled with the motto "I am here" as the supporter; the poster advertises the drama "The Duke's Motto" translated by John Brougham from the French play "Le Bossu" written by Paul Feval and performed at Niblo's Garden in New York City.
Probable date based on play history; John Collins performed the play at Niblo's Garden in June 1863 (Annals of the New York Stage, Vol. VII, page 487) "Chas. Hart, Lith. 99 Fulton St. N.Y."--text, lower center-right of image.
