Mounted on embossed yellow card. Double image of a group of actors on a stage decorated like a grand hall. An actress in native dress stands center stage surrounded by actors dressed in European style clothing. Embossed on the bottom of the card is "Les Theatres de Paris". Etched on the left side of the card are the letters DB above a five-pointed star. Embossed on each edge of the card is the word "depose". In each corner of the card, starting from the top left and going clockwise, are the embossed letters B, D, H, and L. An embossed theatrical mask is at the top center of the card. A blue stamp on the back of the card written in French discusses the copyright of the image.
