Image of a head-and-shoulders portrait of French opéra bouffe actor and singer Marie Aimée; date sheet for a September 13, [1886], show at the Park Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, pasted above image; the poster presumably advertises the farce comedy "Mam'zelle" written by George Jessop and William Gill. Probable date based on month and day in date sheet and general show history; Mam'zelle was first performed in 1884 and Aimée died in 1887. "Forbes Co. Boston & N.Y."--text, bottom right margin. "Aimee / In / English / Park Theatre / Monday, Sept. 13"--text, date sheet, top center.
