Abstract:

First etched as a subscription ticket for "A Midnight Modern Conversation" with seventeen men and boys rehearsing William Huggins's oratorio "Judith". Several of the singers hold sheet music with the notes and lyrics legible. In this state the plate has been reduced with the text eliminated, leaving only traces of the first line of text.
