Image of a scene in a parlor with a woman sitting in a chair waving a large fan while a man in formal dress stands behind her, with a fireplace, vases, and potted palm tree behind them; the poster advertises the drama "Saints and Sinners" written by Henry Arthur Jones and directed by Cedric Hope. Probable date approximated by cataloger based on general show history; Cedric Hope purchased the rights to "Saints and Sinners" in late 1886 or early 1887 ("Mr. Cedric Hope, having secured the sole rights to ‘Saints and Sinners’ from Manager A. M. Palmer, will open his season at the Montreal Academy of Music to-morrow and will bring his company to New York later in the season.” [New York Herald, 16 January 1887, page 7]). "Great Western Pr. Eng. & Lith. Co. St. Louis / 198"--text, lower right.
