An original theatre programme for Naval Engagements with A Rough Diamond at the Theatre Royal Hoburn Square, London, dated 3 February 1869. The cast includes Mr Ferris, Fred Pilleau, Mr Pulling and Captain Martin.

Programmes from the 1860s are genuinely scarce, and personal touches like these make this a one-off piece of theatre memorabilia for collectors of old theatre programmes.
