  • ''The overture and music [for Geraldi Duval] composed by Mr. T. Cooke."
  • John Tabby, whose name often appeared as simply "J. Tabby" or "Tabby" in imprints, printed a majority of the Drury Lane playbills from 1819-1832. Cf. OCLC; BBTI.

  • Ex copy imperfect: poorly cropped, leading to the partial loss of the first line of printing, as well as the line that reads "a new farce" (and all lines below this?).
