A pen and ink lithograph of the actor Jean Baptiste Chollet in the role of the Duc de Guise in Guise ou les états de Blois, Opéra-Comique.
The text at the top of the print indicates that it is No.164 of a series. It appears to have been connected with a production at the Opéra-Comique.
The Guise ou les états de Blois was a comic opera. It appears that was composed by George Onslow (1784-1853) circa 1835, though it was first performed at the Opéra Comique, Paris, in 1837.
The print is part of the Harry Beard Collection.
