Image of a central image of men and woman, including a maid, standing in an apartment lobby with moving trunks, boxes, and suitcases in disarray and glass falling from the ceiling; surrounded by six vignettes of full-length portraits of characters including an older man looking at a hat with the remnants of a broken hatbox around him and another man singing; each image is labeled with Roman numerals between I-VII; the poster advertises the comedy "French Flats" adapted by Augustus R. Cazauran from the French play "Les Locataires de M. Blondeau" by Henri Chivot. Probable date based on general show history; the play first opened in 1879. "Vic. Arnold"--text, artist's signature in stone, lower right. "A.S. Seer's Lith. & Print. 26 Union Square N.Y."--text, bottom right.
