Theatrical souvenir portrait plate with engraving of the actor Mr Phelps in the role of Sir John Falstaff. The portrait is embellished with metal foil tinsel ornaments notably on the armour, weapons and dress accessories. The clothing is of silk. The portrait has been cut out and pasted onto card with some handcoloured background scenery. Such sheets would have been sold plain for colouring and tinselling at home. The publishers details have been cut off, but the style suggests it was probably published by Hodgson.
