Like several other posters of hers, this was based on a design for 'La Tosca' also used by Sarah Bernhardt to advertise her 1905-1906 American tour, with the same changes as in all other cases.Like several other posters of hers, La Tosca was also used by Sarah Bernhardt to advertise her 1905-1906 American tour, with the same changes as in all other cases: the name of the play removed and replaced by the text 1905 FAREWELL AMERICAN TOUR 1906, at the bottom panel altered to read SARAH-BERNHARDT SAM S. LEE SHUBERT WM. F. CONNOR/MANAGERS. Much of Muchas original design has been redrawn, probably by a craftsman at the metropolitan printing firm in New York (Rennert/Weill, p. 222). The only other known copy of this rare poster is in the New York Library of Performing Arts.
