Playbill advertising a performance at the Theatre Royal, Birmingham which principally takes the form of an apology announcing that the lead of the evening's entertainment, Italian opera singer Angelica Catalani (1780-1849), is unable to attend due to ill health. The soprano's appearance had been much publicised by the local press, hence the need to justify her absence by publishing a communication by the attending doctor

Abstract:
"[1] 'H. Bunbury Esqr del.' Punch (left) points to a large butt or tun inscribed 'WYNNSTAY', from the top of which hang comic masks which encircle its upper circumference; in his right hand is a stick with an ass's head. On the right side of the butt are three figures: Mother Shipton, humpbacked with a profile like Punch's; a demon or satyr, who looks from behind the cask; and a small man or boy, perhaps Tom Thumb. [2] 'View of the Theatre at Wynnstay. I. Evans Esqr del.' A view of the theatre is framed by a curtain held up (left) by Comedy and right by Tragedy. The façade has the date '1782'. [3] 'Wynnstay. H. Bunbury Esqr del.' Amateur actors and actresses dance in a circle round a high pedestal supporting a bust of (?) Shakespeare. They include a Falstaff leering at a lady in Elizabethan dress, a man wearing a tall leek in his hat (? Fluellen), and a French military officer with long queue and cavalier's boots."--British Museum online catalogue
