Description: Illustration from the 1881 première of Jacques Offenbach's Les contes d'Hoffmann, showing the Giulietta act. I'm not sure exactly when the Giulietta act premièred; it wasn't ready for the first production, but it was being performed by the end of 1881, apparently.

Author: This appears to be by Pierre-Auguste Lamy (1827- c. 1880) This would, obviously, be one of his last works. The signature resembles other signatures by him. See the other images in this set for other examples of the artist's signature. Restored by Adam Cuerden. Restoration included removing scratches, rotating to make the verticals and most of the horizontals straight, and adding in some paper to avoid excessive cropping because of the rotation, levels adjustments, and so on.
