Summary:

The item is a published copy (Wien: J. B. Wallishauser, 1853) that has been annotated as a prompt book. It is noted on the title page that the play was performed at Theater an der Wien. In the context of the Learned Collection, it is likely that the book belonged to Theodor Bloch, who was active in German-language theater in Philadelphia from around 1873 to the mid 1890s, first as an actor, and later as a prompter and proprietor of a theater lending library. This title is listed in Bloch's catalog for his library (dated 1886; see box 34). (The collection's holdings of theater newspapers and playbills contain no reference to this play.)
