Single bifolium. 2pp. A trifle creased to extremities, some marking to gutter, split at head. The highlight of this double-page playbill is the detailed 'order of scenery' included for the popular Regency hippodrama Timour the Tartar, by Matthew Gregory 'Monk' Lewis' (1775-1818), Gothic novelist and dramatist. Timour, which debuted at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in late April or early May 1811, is believed to be the first play expressly written to feature horses. This performance featured horses from Cooke's Circus (which appeared in several different performances at the Theatre Royal in May, 1831), and their involvement in three scenes is explicitly detailed here.
