Below the image is a quote from the play:
Air: de Doche
"Mon Galoubet (bis)
Pour mettre la jeunesse en dance;
A fredonner est toujours pret;
Mais, drès qu'ure vielle s'avance,
Elle arrête, par sa présence,
Mon Galoubet" (Acte I, Scène I)
La belle au bois dormant (Sleeping Beauty) is an 'opéra féerie' in three acts by Michele Carafa to a French libretto by François-Antonine-Eugène de Planard after the tale by Charles Perrault. It was first performed on 2 March 1825 at the Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique in Paris. The famous tenor Adolphe Nourrit created the role of the Prince. Choreography was by Pierre Gabriel Gardel, and set design by Pierre-Luc-Charles Cicéri.
An 'Opéra féerie' was a style of opera that became particularly popular in the 18th/19th century and was the name given to a genre of opera based on fairy tales, often involving magic. La belle au bois dormant (Sleeping Beauty, 1825) composed by Carafa and Cendrillon (Cinderella, 1810) composed by Nicolas Isouard are two notable examples of such works.
This design appears to be part of a series of prints published by Martinet, Rue du Coq, of which this example is labelled as number 268. It is part of the Harry Beard Collection.
