This is a drawing of a theater program cover. The title "Le Théâtre Libre" is displayed in an ornate, flowing script curving across the page. The words "Saison 1888-89" are near the top in a bolder style, while additional text lists a location "Au Théâtre des Menus-Plaisirs, 14 Boulevard de Strasbourg." Below the title is an illustration of a man's profile within a circular frame with the initials "JFR." The drawing is done with black ink on beige paper.
