Silk and satin playbills and programmes were commonly produced in the 18th and 19th centuries to mark special evenings at the theatre, often lavishly fringed and sometimes illustrated with an engraved image. This American silk programme is a superbly produced example, folded to make four pages, and featuring several finely engraved images, as well as advertisements, articles, riddles, and information about the theatre season, so that it is more like a theatre magazine than a programme.
