Andy Blake or The Irish Diamond--Comedy in two acts, 1856

The collection is divided into series based on content. Series I-IA contains theater-related ephemera, such as programs, playbills, and schedules. The folders are organized alphabetically by theater, performance location, performance group, or production group. Within the folders, the materials are ordered chronologically when the origin date could be indentified. Items from this series too large to be housed in the boxes are noted as oversized. Series II is the exhibition material on theater in Baltimore (Md.) and abroad from the Peale Museum. The items, such as captions and notes, are grouped into folders based on content. Series III holds title pages and lithographs of plays and operas performed at the Theatre-Royal, Drury Lane in London, and are ordered by date and alphabetically by title. The lithograph is filed with the corresponding title page if available. Series IV-IVA includes copies of plays and manuscripts of plays are organized alphabetically by playwright and work title. Additional material was found and added to collection in 2015. These documents have been added to the end of the collection in Series IA and Series IVA.
