Notes

This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
One postcard in a group of half-size postcards (produced presumably in this this size for reasons of economy), showing amateur theatricals enacted by officers from the Royal Navy and players in drag. The drag and some of the settings have a distinctly Oriental feel to them, which may indicate location such as Turkey or Mesopotamia (Mesopotamia being the setting of Wellcome Library no. 2043083i)
