Image of a large group of female performers in a variety of international costumes standing and sitting with vases, banners, curtains, and columns, and a sign reading "Porselin[sic]"; vignettes of head-and-shoulder portraits of two men, presumably Bolossy Kiralfy and Imre Kiralfy in ovals at top right; the poster advertises the play "Around the World in Eighty Days" based on the novel by Jules Verne. Margins trimmed on local copy; probable date based on general show history; the Kiralfy Brothers first presented the play in 1885.
