¹The title of some cards is printed with ‘The' missing. Artists are not named in the cards of this set. Generally, they are the principals from the 1906-7 season, but this is not always entirely reliable. In T869 at least, understudy Norah McLeod substituted for Jessie Rose.

²An original packet offers: "Play Pictorial, the Real Photograph series. Series No 5315. Patience, Six Charming Real Photographs, Illustrating the Principal Characters in Gilbert and Sullivan's Famous Operas. Six in Packet. The Most Welcome, Artistic and Up-to-Date. ‘Unapproachable’ is the verdict of the entire Press.” Only three of these six cards have been identified to date.
