Colour lithograph poster depicting the English actor Edmund Purdom in the role of 'The Egyptian'. His face is magnified in the centre of the sheet, with three beautiful women languidly placed around his face, one of whom pets a large white cat. In the background are two scenes, one depicting an ancient momument surrounded by flames with a chariot racing away, and the other depicting an amorous couple and figures milling about peacefully. Two stamps fixed on top of each other at the lower right corner.
